UPDATE:..............................
Below is the statement from the American Cancer Society:
The American Cancer Society has decided to move its 2018 Island of Palm Beach gala from Mar-a-Lago.
When we chose to hold our 2018 event and related dinner at Mar-a-Lago, we selected the venue based on a variety of factors, including costs and venue requirements.
Our values and commitment to diversity are critical as we work to address the impact of cancer in every community. It has become increasingly clear that the challenge to those values is outweighing other business considerations.
With our volunteer leaders, we are exploring other opportunities and potential venues. The generous support of community volunteers and donors are critical to our life-saving mission. Only by coming together will we solve our societys most difficult challenges, including reducing the pain and suffering from cancer.

So yeah, I think you're right. They probably were getting shit from their donors. And it's about time too.
Glad to see this happening.
When the Russians start moving out of the Trump Tower, you know this shit is finally over.

(796 posts)the only way to fully hurt the sumbitch is to start the cash drain away from his festering flea bag hotels. let the proud boys take up residence there. no one else will be using them soon.

(15,552 posts)I contacted Cleveland Clinic myself (my roots run deep in Cleveland) and told them how I felt. Sounds like such a little thing, but all the little things add up.

(63,221 posts)It's not enough for me to see him out of office, I want to see him in total financial ruin that he can never bounce back from in his lifetime and the Trump name so degraded that his children and grandchildren will never bounce back from it in their lifetime.

(1,107 posts)or you miss out on the effect this is going to have on the gas bag's enormous ego. This is a one two punch. Very effective and very devastating to a punk who craves acceptance and respect from society's so called betters. He may play to the rabble but he desperately needs the acceptance of the elite.
So sad.
