Which corporations provide support/sponsorship for Susan G. Komen?

Inasmuch as possible, I'd like to pressure companies that sponsor the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I have a bottle of Sutter Home wine with a generic pink ribbon on the label. I sent an inquiry to Sutter's Twitter account, asking if they were affiliated with Susan G Komen Foundation, "since they now kill women". I don't know what will come of it, but my hope is that if enough people start to inquire, corporate sponsors will feel pressure from pro-choice Americans.

Toward that end, does anyone have a list, or partial list, of companies that support the Susan G Komen Foundation? Just as important, can anyone recommend an alternative recipient for breast cancer research and awareness? I'd like to be able to recommend an alternative when this comes up in conversation.

Thank you.

All of us that are angry and stopping donations to them are nothing but peons - our money is just pocket change to them

I think they're at real risk for that now. My guess is that some of these large corporate donors are talking about this today, wondering how much exposure they'll get for being contributors. The sponsors need to feel some of this backlash.

Thanks.

but it is very hard to boycott a corp to stop sponsorship cause there is still that "other" group out there that supports the decision and IMO very few would stop on their own

Want to send emails to all companies listed as supporters of Komen. Emails would be great if anyone has them. Appalled by the decision.
