WASHINGTON (AP) — The Susan G. Komen Foundation is leaning toward finding a new location for its January 14 breast cancer fundraiser. That's because the million-dollar event is to be held at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The charity has no position on Trump, but says it wants to keep its event separate from "controversies unrelated to our mission."
