'Look-Alikes' Are Confusing Donors American Canccr Society offices across North Carolina have been flooded with questions recently about canccr organizations not asso ciated with the American Canccr Society, says Judy Rudow of the Area Five office in Wilmington. The phone calls are coming in the wake of mass mailings by several "look-alike" cancer organizations licrc in Brunswick County and a cross North Carolina, she said. Ms. Rudow uses the term "look alike," she says, bccausc the chan ties in question try to confusc donors with words like "National," "So ciety" and "Foundation" in their ti tles. The approaches taken by such "look-alikes," however, include sweepstake prizes for donations and cancer research lotteries, she said, where little money is spent in scarch of a cure for cancer. In contrast, organizations such as the American Cancer Society rely heavily on volunteers to raise money cost effectively and to channel more lhan 80 percent of the gifts they re ceive into cancer control programs. Ms. Rutk*w recommends that those interested in supporting the American Cancer Society beware of "look-alike" organizations and look for the American Cancer Society's red "Sword of Hope" in its regis tered logo. She can be reached at 919-343 1711 by anyone wishing more infor mation.
