I don't know about this particular organization. But there was once a thrift shop where we used to live that had the word "cancer" in their name. They were not a non-profit but gave a tiny percent of profit to cancer charities. It was a big operation and, sadly, were often confused with the legit Amercian Cancer Society who also operated a thrift shop that was manned by volunteers.
