The American Institute of Cancer Research has a rating of one-star out of five. It's president and vice president make $278,000 per year.

I am not opposed to cancer research. I lost my brother to cancer two years ago. But there are many other organizations raising money for cancer that do a much better job.

Yep. You do have to keep on top of that. We are very careful about where we place our charitable giving. We always wish it could be more, but placing it in highly rated places where it will be used responsibly makes our donations have a greater impact.

I believe that your note will garner some attention!
