F*ck everything about this
The Canadian Cancer Society spends more of the money it raises on fundraising and administration than it does on cancer research.
A lot more (via Quotulatiousness).
CBC's Marketplace analyzed the Canadian Cancer Society’s financial reports dating back a dozen years. It discovered that each year, as the society raised more dollars, the proportion of money it spent on research dropped dramatically — from 40.3 per cent in 2000 to under 22 per cent in 2011.
The amount of money spent on research has increased slightly over the years, but as a portion of the Cancer Society’s growing budget, it's almost been cut in half.

According to a 2010 MoneySense.ca article, the Canadian Cancer Society spends 43% of the funds it raises on... fundraising. Compare this instrumentality with the toonie you gave to the guy outside 7-11. At least you know 100% of his fundraising efforts went into a pack of smokes. He didn't spend it on a cell phone to call you at home and ask you for more cash.
