Brad Freeman, of Carlsbad, is suing his former business partners for allegedly taking their Cans For Cancer business from him illegally, according to a story in the North County Times.
What is more interesting is what exactly the Cans For Cancer business is doing. Using nearly 5,000 red bins, the company is collecting between $9,000 and $14,000 in aluminum cans in Carlsbadistan each month and so far it appears that very little is going to Cancer research.
Lou Delegge and [his attorney] Robert Kilborne declined to provide proof of donations to cancer research programs or make Cans for Cancer’s books available for a review of the organization’s monthly revenue and expenses, citing the ongoing lawsuit. . . In a phone conversation Saturday, Delegge confirmed his attorney’s assessment that start-up costs and overhead are eating up most of the monthly revenue. He said the company’s goal is to one day donate 100 percent of its proceeds to cancer research.
Guess we’ll just keep putting our cans in the Waste Management bins until all this gets sorted out.

I saw these “Cans for Cancer” doofuses driving around last week. From the looks of the 3 guys in the truck (does it really take THREE people to load up cans? One girl scout can do the same and she weighs half as much as one of these men), the thing just looked kind of like a scam to me. Not surprised to read this about it now. Very sad because people think they are donating for cancer and these creeps are probably pocketing the money.
