I do not routinely donate large sums to the big, national charities. They just seem to spend so much of their income on further fundraising while spending a relatively smaller percentage of funds on the cause/cure they were intended for. How many mailing labels, greeting cards, and calendars can one really use????

The whole concept of a world class Cancer center inside the Villages is awe-inspiring, even moreso now having heard the stories of many TOTV'ers and SteveFromNY's son.

I still intend to research their business plan and fundraising structure, but, definitely will send them a generous donation far beyond the per capita figures they have been discussing. It appears to me that the vast majority of funds raised will go directly to equipping/supporting the center and not to further fundraising. A good cause, indeed, with significant local impact.
