Woman said she was with "Breast Cancer Survivors Foundation" raising money for uninsured or underinsured women to get mammograms. I asked her to send me some information in the mail but was told I would have to ensure a donation to pay for the cost of the mailing. I asked for the website and she told me it was www.breastcancersurvivor.org. I told her I work with local women dealing with breast cancer and asked if it would fund the mammogram program in northern Michigan; she paused for a few seconds and didn't know what to say. So I looked them up - seems to be legit. In 2011 looks like only $.08 of each dollar raised went to their cause. TOTALLY SHADY!!!!
Called them back. Got a recording that said they were a charitable collection firm for numerous charities. Never identified themselves or their charities. Hung up before anyone answered
