Komen has become a very large organization over the years and almost every major breakthrough in breast cancer research has been touched by a Komen grant. It takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and manpower to do the research and fundraising necessary to achieve the common goal of...a world without breast cancer. I can tell you with absolute confidence that those who are employed by Komen work tirelessly and find it very difficult to turn off the "Komen Brain" when outside of the office walls. We are ALL in this together and we go to great lengths to make sure the money raised is being put to the best possible use. THANK YOU all for your continued support!! Molly that’s a great question.

But how much did they raise last year and where is all the rest of the money going. I think Komen has done a lot. But they are now a huge corporation supporting hundreds of lives with donations. I will be interested to hear more about what you learn. Have a great week. Yes, $100 million is a lot. But how much did they raise last year and where is all the rest of the money going.
