The Truth:

This was authentic, but is now over.  Some emails said that clicking the ribbon would result in a contribution to “the breast center.”  In reality, the donations were going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  It was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. The Komen Foundation is a national organization with a network of volunteers working through local chapters and Race for the Cure events in over 100 cities.
