There are more and more Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation supporting adds this year....BUT Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is among those that fund Planned Parenthood.
When Eve Silver joined an advisory board for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, she thought she was working with an organization that supported life. Komen supports breast cancer research and sponsors annual Race for the Cure events around the country.
But what Silver didn't know until just recently is that Komen also financially supports Planned Parenthood. In fact, in 2003 the foundation gave $450,000 to the group.
...
What Silver also found out is that Komen's founder, Nancy Brinker, is on the advisory board of Planned Parenthood in Dallas, and, after the $450,000 donation, Planned Parenthood built a new $5 million clinic in Dallas, something Silver called "a very clear conflict of interest."

Alternative organizations that support life
Want to give your money to organizations that are clear of Planned Parenthood and other bad ties? Try these:
The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute was founded by Joel Brind and Dr. Angela Lanfranchi to look at the connection between abortion and contraceptives and breast cancer. On the web at: www.bcpinstitute.org.
Instead of the American Red Cross, your local Catholic Charities also provides emergency relief services.
In the Diocese of La Crosse, Wis., many parishes have begun walks that benefit Catholic Relief Services directly rather than going through CROP Walk.
Easter Seals, according to Jim Sedlak at Stop Planned Parenthood, is a "completely clean" organization.
...
And the Michael Fund (www.michaelfund.org)gives money for birth-defect research and is pro-life, Sedlak said.
I can't find the orignal article, but it was linked from here.
