Nonprofits Aren?t So Generous When a Name?s at Stake - GoFuckYourself.com

Quote:

As the leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen For the Cure helped make ?for the cure? a staple of the fund-raising vernacular.

The slogan is so popular that dozens of groups have sought to trademark names incorporating the phrase. Among them are ?Juggling for a Cure,? ?Bark for the Cure,? and ?Blondes for the Cure.?
Logos

Charity event Kites for a Cure, top, refused a name change request from Susan G. Komen For the Cure, which held the event pictured above.

Komen sees this as imitation, and it?s not flattered. Instead, it?s launching a not-so-friendly legal battle against kite fliers, kayakers and dozens of other themed fund-raisers that it contends are poaching its name. And it?s sternly warning charities against dabbling with pink, its signature hue.

Charitys are out for themselves.

Bullshit. Let them do what they want. Go back to trying to find/fund the "cure".

Bang!! Nail on the head!!

Not for profit is total bullshit!! If you look at what the people pull down working for these so called not for profit companies, it would make you sick. When you learn the truth, you will never want to donate another dollar to these clowns ever again.

How much money will be taken away from finding the cure with this legal battle?

RuthB · 12-26-2010, 04:25 PM

damn, that's a real shame.

Some things just aren't that important in the big scheme of things, shame that the Komen Foundation disagrees, I guess they want all the funding for themselves
