Can we get a PdC logo on that one?

People facing cancer need education and support, but most of all, they need hope. We created the LIVESTRONG collection for people who believe in survivorship, and in living life to the fullest. Like each piece in this vibrant collection, our LIVESTRONG by Chantal whistling loop teakettle with ergonomic handle and enamel-on-steel finish features the signature golden yellow and embossed LIVESTRONG logo as a tangible reminder of how lives touched by cancer can become lives filled with hope. A portion of Chantal’s sales from the LIVESTRONG collection goes directly to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Give the gift of hope with LIVESTRONG by Chantal. Chantal teakettles are perfect for all stove types, including induction. 1.8-qt. functional capacity. Limited warranty.

(Continues sobbing…) My life is filled with hope now, this ergomnomic handle is the key. Am a bit worried about the limited warranty though, now things are looking so on the up…”

On a serious note,
Last week I heard on the radio that the LAF (livestrong.org) has in the past been reprimanded for costing too much for a non-profit org, meaning not enough of the raised funds went (go?) to the intended cause of cancer research. A few simple searches without knowing the exact relevant phrases, like the name of the watchdog authority, did not give me any results.
by tedvdw on Jul 28, 2009 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why search so far away
fmk posted an analysis partly in response to that claim. Good stuff.

I’d heard the criticisms of the charity too on occasion. Very relieving to see that they’re less than compelling.

Only interesting left is 10+ million for that event agency.
by tedvdw on Jul 28, 2009 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ja, not sure myself
I’m actually more concerned about the existence of a non-profit and for-profit org with the same name and the frequent blurring of the two. That is, there is a livestrong.org and a livestrong.com.
I’m not sure how current this latest criticism is, either. I do know fmk did a debunking of that claim last year, but I’m not sure if things have changed at all. The Googler returned nothing, so no story as of now.
by gavia on Jul 28, 2009 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Com and org is at the very least confusing, yes
