The name as a brand is destroyed....even if the foundation fired everyone & replaced them with new folks, even while maybe announcing double than usual funding to Planned Parenthood, the name will always evoke suspicion and mistrust of who is behind the scenes. I know dozens of women who have already said they will never give nor trust the Komen foundation. They will support the breast cancer cause in other ways.....and there are lots of other organizations other than a Texas based organization.
