I think it might even have been here that mentioned something like 5% of the money raised by cancer foundations actually GOES to cancer research. The rest of it gets tied up in funding the fundraisers and stupid crap like that.
Imagine raising $2500 for the breast cancer walk and NONE of that money goes anywhere other than the fundraiser to "raise awareness"

Absolutely not true. I was wondering this myself so I asked a Herald reporter to look into some numbers for me. In regards to that "Walk or Run for Breast Cancer" event, over 80% goes straight to research.
