The Komen foundation declined to comment on the $133,507 expense payment and on the workplace culture at Komen. In response to queries, the foundation issued a statement, saying in part, “This is the most successful grassroots organization fighting against breast cancer in history, and it continues to be amazingly effective at its core mission,” which involves “tapping everything we can to find a cure.” The statement also said that Komen acknowledges it “made a mistake by getting mixed up in a political issue,” referring to the Planned Parenthood flap. “We truly regret it and will not repeat it.”
