Everyone believes his or her cause is more worthy, more deserving than all other causes. Often times, people get so carried away with raising money, giving money, and making money that they begin to forget to even ask what their money is going towards. If contributors  knew exactly where his or her money were going, would they give less, more, or the same amount? Would they give any money at all? The American Cancer society is a worthy cause which has different categories that benefit cancer patients and caregivers.
