You've read that right. Never donate money to a charity the cashier asks you at the grocery store because most of the money goes to administration fees. I put a link down below on how these famous charities money are actually distributed. It should be a red flag that a grocery store is really pushy about a charity anyway.

*Isn't it also suspicious that Komen's Breast Cancer charity spends millions of dollars advertising instead of the money actually going towards the research?
*EDIT 1: Hey guys, if you want to read more about how a lot of charities have bad intentions, check this list out http://listverse.com/2013/10/07/10-horrible-facts-about-charities/
I've actually participated in charity auctions and they spend so very much on advertising!
But consider this - at least they aren't using force to get your funds like government does. Finally, I'll never donate to Komen's Breast Cancer charity - all it is is awareness, isn't it? I'm aware already! Let's do something about it? Like, fund people who actually NEED the surgery, etc.
