From AARP: Beyond the Pink: Breast Cancer Charities Rated

Beyond the Pink: Breast Cancer Charities Rated



October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — as if you couldn’t tell by all the pink-ribbon logos on products, 60-year-old Liam Neeson in hot-pink underwear, and football players, young and old, wearing pink football gear.
Even the White House has turned pink.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women and the fifth leading cause of death, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which urges older women to get their mammograms.
Breast cancer has touched millions of lives, so it’s natural to want to donate to charities that help fund research for better treatment or even a cure. But which charity will use that donation wisely?
