I do a few walks each year and decided to do my own collections and donate the money to specific funds, not just a general "fight cancer" fund. I like to know exactly where that money is going and not having like 30% taken out for some bs "administrative" fee. I'm going to fill out the
form to request the ACS financial distribution report to see if it's just me being paranoid or what, but I've heard stories of legit charities taking out what I saw as an extraordinary amount for nonsense. But I decided to work for a cancer center after my wife's whole ordeal so I'm a little biased on
where to donate , but I at least know it's going directly to a place that is on the front line of fighting cancer.
If you're interested in doing your own collections, I used
