Very shortsighted.  There are tons of worthy research initiatives that go unfunded.  These are some of the areas ACS puts it research dollars (and 47 times it's yielded Nobel winning work, not that I'm counting).  Folks are often affiliated with universities and cancer centers.  Places like Mayo and md Anderson aren't the drug companies.  And all of this begs the issue of support services, screening services, etc that the money helps.  Not trying to convince anyone.  There's a very necessary place for local charity...and there's a very necessary place for giant players who can reachi more people in more areas and bring about more change through programs, advocacy in Washington, etc.  what I can 100% promise you is that every person working at a large NFP is leaving a large share of salary on the table relative to what the private sector could offer.  It's not a smoke and mirrors thing.  These orgs do really good work...and it certainly doesn't all roll up to the drug companies.
