[quote=Anonymous]Thought this was interesting. I wonder how many sites SKF are monitoring? I bet they do better on site where they can post anonymously. Keep the gravy train rolling! SKF staff can monitor websites and charge it to "Educational Outreach".

This is Andrea Rader in the Communications department at Komen and I wanted to pass along a few facts. First -- Nancy worked without pay at Komen for 27 years and only began drawing a salary when she was named CEO in 2009. To Mr. Abruzzo's point, Nancy is not chairman and president...Dr. LeSalle Leffall is our board chairman. 
Lori also didn't mention that we raised $472 million last year and that 83 cents of every dollar we spent went to research, community, global and advocacy programs. Hope that helps.

HI Andrea, 
You raised $472 million last year, but only gave $72 million to research. Isn't your organization called Komen FOR A CURE? Last time I checked, research is the best way to find a cure. Oh, that's right, Nancy Brinker doesn't believe that "you can cure a disease in the laboratory alone." (starting at 10:50, specific quote at 11:35)

Andrea, I certainly can't speak for everyone, but having you comment here does not help the SGK cause. It feels desperate and intrusive and shows the same tone deafness as every justification from your board. 
 
If you're gauging public reaction, I raised over $5k a few years back for SGK and all I have to say now is not one more dime, not one more mile.

Nice to know that donations are being used to post messages on newspaper blogs to counter all the bad publicity they've inflicted on themselves.

Nancy Brinker lives in a glass bubble. How dare she mess with our women's organizations in Dallas. We have worked hard in Dallas to make charitable giving and women synonomous. We have women working hard for charities, and above all, avoiding ugliness and political battling along the way. Andrea in public relations, I hope you all are proud of yourselves because you suck!

Andrea, if it's contrition and healing you want to promote for your employer, here's a start - FIRE Handel today!
