My Dear Friends,
Barb and I are researching into the various charities and causes that
benefit cancer survivors and one of my questions to them was what were
the administration fees, as I had heard horror stories about this and
where the money was going to. HOpe this benefits. YOur thoughts on
charities where moneys donated go to research for cancer with minimal
ancellary, superfluous, miscellaneious and administration fees. I happen
to know that all the donations given to CHOC, (Childrens Hospital of
Orange County) are spent for research and no donations go for expenses
in research other than the research itself. That was reassuring.
God Bless
