Another group has ditched plans to host an event at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
The Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society on Sunday joined a list of what is now at least nine nonprofits, charities and other organizations that have said they won’t give business to the posh club in Palm Beach, Florida.
“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,” said the organization’s CEO and president, Andrew Aiken, in a statement.
The announcement came a day after another local group, the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation, abandoned Mar-a-Lago.
“Given the current environment surrounding Mar-a-Lago, we have made the decision to move our annual dinner dance,” that foundation said on Twitter.
The exodus comes after Trump blamed “many sides” for violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virignia. A woman was killed and 19 people were injured when a car rammed down a narrow street.
