Komen Cancels San Francisco Walk

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is still trying to cope with last year's Planned Parenthood fiasco. The breast cancer charity will cancel San Francisco's three-day fundraising walk along with similar events in six other cities next year after failing to reach financial goals. Komen, the world's largest breast cancer fundraising organization, faced backlash in 2012 after news emerged that it had ended $680,000 in grants to Planned Parenthood for breast-screening services.
