This is a very questionable "charity" - AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research".  First, they apparently don't do any research (I guess they just think it would be a good idea if someone did some).  They appear to me to be a political front group, using a "hot button" issue to raise money and further their political goals.  They get a very poor rating on Charity Navigator's web site.  And they seem to be another abusive "harassment tactics" fund raiser.  Seems like lots of folks lining their pockets here, and not much being done by these bozos to fight cancer.
I would avoid these folks, and wouldn't dream of giving them a penny.  If you want to give them hell about calling you, here is their contact info.  I'd think twice about emailing them, you'll probably get spammed.

1-202-495-7181, Washington DC caller ID.  Last Thursday I answered to see if it was an automated call, a seemingly surprised man(southern accent) answered and said they were from the Cancer Society and asked if I would mail out fifteen information packets to my neighbors for breast cancer awareness in October. All I would need to do was address packet and attach postage .  I reluctantly said yes and he confirmed that I would pay the postage. He verified my address,said and I would receive my packet in October then ended the call. This # has been on my caller ID every day since. No more answering unsourced call! If it's legit, leave a message.

AICR - (202) 328-7744

Called main number above.  Woman who answered was a snotty talking smart-[***].  I got transferred to a man who seemed pleasant enough.  He took my number and said the calls would stop.  Time will tell.
