actually i guarantee you that the Komen 3-Day walks for the cure will continue to be packed. [/quote]

But for how long and how strong?  I bet that this year and next year will see a significant decrease in the number of attendees, while the Avon Walk will see a significant increase.  Depending on how they manage the next year or two, the trend may continue or they may be able to salvage this publicity debacle and plateau.  But chances are they will be a much smaller force in the charitable world, since there are other charitable donations that have the same focus and will be less objectionable to some donors for the near future at least.[/quote]

What the above shows is how shortsignted people are!  SK screwed up here.   Okay.  [b]When your college/university screws up (which I am confident it has in one way or another), do you stop giving to it.[/b]  I doubt it.  Show some loyalty.  Kimon will get back on track.  The VP has left, after all.[/quote]

Absolutely. My alma mater pissed me off something fierce with some policy decisions it made about 7 years ago and hasn't received a dime from me since. And I used to give a lot, with matching gifts from my employer.[/quote]

Thus, when you screw up at work, I presume you expect to be fired immediately, regardless of the severity of the screw up.  Certainly, if Komen continues to screw up, I will cease my support.  But, as with friends and family (and, hopefully, your employer), I will give Komen a pass this time.  Nobody died.  Nobody stole money or property here.  Nobody commited a crime or even a civil violation.  Komen simply made a bone headed decision, which it then reversed.
