As first reported by the Washington Post, President Donald Trump's company has canceled a golf tournament planned by a Miami strip club to take place at his Doral, Florida resort this weekend.
“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 sent to the Washington 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.”
The “Shadow All-Star Tournament” was organized by the Shadow Cabaret, a strip club in Hialeah, Florida.
Miami Allstars’ director, Carlos Alamilla told the Post in an interview the event was hardly on his radar until the paper called to ask about the Shadow Cabaret.
“We’re not participating, and I think you should cancel the event,” Alamilla said he told the tournament’s organizers.
The Post published a story Tuesday about the planned event.
