After Miami charity pulls out of strip club golf tourney, Trump Doral cancels event

WASHINGTON — After a Miami youth basketball charity said it would not accept money from a charity golf event this weekend promoted by a Hialeah strip club at President Donald Trump’s Doral resort, Trump’s company canceled the event Wednesday evening.

The Trump Organization said it shelved Shadow Cabaret’s tournament after the Miami Allstars Foundation, the charity, dropped out, The Washington Post reported Wednesday evening.

“The event was originally booked with the understanding that it would be raising money to support a local charity benefiting underprivileged children,” a Trump Organization spokeswoman said in a statement to the Post. “Now that the charity has removed its affiliation, the event will no longer be taking place at our property and all amounts paid will be refunded.”

Carlos Alamilla, the director of the Miami All Stars, said his organization was unaware the charity event was run by Shadow Cabaret, a Hialeah strip club, until a Washington Post reporter called him about it. Alamilla said an event promoter had reached out to him to ask if his organization would like to benefit from a charity golf tournament at Trump Doral, and he’d accepted despite his opposition to the president.

Trumpy was so looking forward to having a stripper caddy for him.

Right about now, his family doesn't have the best record when it comes to charity funds.


I thought the photo of the lipstick on the ball unsuitable for a charity for children.
