more than using the guise of Charity to sell products. Komen is nothing more than a way for a corporation to get rich. I would love to see the bottom line. How much profit and how much to the charity THAN I want the true figures from the charity. How much actually goes to research and helping cancer victims and how much is used for "Overhead" Because if you are giving your CEO $500,000 as a salary than you have a problem.

As I said in another post I can understand CEO and key members getting paid for their work BUT no freakin way $500,000
