If you’re looking for other places to donate the money you would have spent on pink breast cancer pizza cutters (this poster owns one), Good Magazine has a post up on that: Give Komen the Pink Slip: Five Ways to Support Women’s Health for All. Local options include the Equinox shelter, of course, Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood.
You can also encourage organizations to raise money for those causes instead of Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, when choosing where to give their dollars.
