Frankly, I can't imagine that the ACS would either be willing or able to share -- it would set bad policy and create too many problems and issues. Right now, I am so turned off by the Moffitt "contributions" that if I see something will give a portion of its proceeds to Moffitt, I won't go. It's killing me at times since I really would have loved to see the Lipizzaners and maybe even A Chorus Line, but I won't out of sheer principle. So long as we are forced to contribute whether we believe it is the right or best thing or, worse yet, forced to share our contributions for something we truly believe in to give to something we have serious doubts about, I won't contribute. So, I'll miss out on events I know I would have enjoyed, send my contributions directly to those charities I believe in and not help a for-profit medical institution get new medical equipment at my expense.
