The Federal Trade Commissions in the U.S says four major cancer charities all owned by the same family scammed donors out of $187 million and spend almost nothing to help actual cancer patients. The charities spent about 97% of donations they received either on private fundraisers or on themselves. Only 3%, she says, went to help actual cancer patients.

The Cancer Fund of America, Breast Cancer Society, Children's Cancer Fund of America and Cancer Support Services are all run by the Reynolds family. Donated funds were used to pay for vehicles, personal consumer goods, college tuition, gym memberships, Jet Ski outings, dating website subscriptions, luxury cruises, and tickets to concerts and professional sporting events.
