These posts were from various Susan G. Komen websites. As you all may know, Susan G. Komen gives money to Planned Parenthood earmarked for “breats health exams”…however, research shows that such exams fell while abortions increased after monies were received from SGK…a few moments googling planned parenthood and SGK and you will find the connection. Additionally, SGK supports embrionic stem cell research. Do not support Lee National Denim Day.

United for a cause
Chavira and Denton share a passion for the cause: each lost his mother to breast cancer. Chavira’s mother died when he was a teenager while Denton’s mother died just two years ago. While their experiences with the disease are different, the pain breast cancer inflicted on their families is the same. By partnering with Lee Jeans and the Komen Foundation, they hope to spread the important messages of education and early detection so their unfortunate losses might be prevented for future sons and daughters. Additionally, as male spokespeople, Denton and Chavira hope to increase recognition of the important role men play as co-survivors – encouraging breast health and assisting a spouse, partner, mother, sister or friend in their fight against the disease.
Lee National Demin Day, October 7, 2005. Participants for 2004 were more than 1.7 million from over 27,500 companies and organizations, which raised over $8.5 million. Lee National Denim Day is the largest one day fun-raiser for breast cancer in the nation. 2005 marks the 10th anniversary of Lee National Denim Day with a total of $52 million in donations, and 100% of every dollar contributed goes directly to the Komen Foundation.
In fact, I never even heard of it before - I thought it was just something they did at work.). I guess I won’t this year, then. They’re also doing the yearly charity donations again (where you can select from over a thousand charities). I’ve heard a few donate to PP and other organizations like it.
