The President’s Mar-a-Lago resort is paying the price when the President makes idiotic comments.
Trump’s most recent comments in regards to the Charlottsville riots have caused at least 15 charities to cancel their plans to host events at the Florida resort.
On Sunday the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society announced it too would be moving its upcoming event away from the Trump property.
“We have an unyielding commitment to inspire people to act on behalf of wildlife and the natural world,” said Zoo CEO & President Andrew Aiken in a statement Sunday. “After thoughtful consideration by Zoo leadership, we have decided it is important that we not allow distractions to deter us from our mission and culture.”
The following organizations have decided to celebrate elsewhere:
- The Cleveland Clinic
- The American Cancer Society
- American Friends of Magen David Adom
- American Red Cross
- The Salvation Army
- Susan G. Komen
- The Ryan Licht Sang Bipolar Foundation
- Palm Beach Preservation Foundation
- Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society
- Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper
- Kravis Center for the Performing Arts
- Unicorn Children’s Foundation
- Gateway for Cancer Research
- Leaders in Furthering Education
- Bethesda Hospital FoundationIn addition, a local United Way chapter chose Monday to move a reception planned for September at a Trump golf course in New Jersey.
