Jordan Poyer’s charity golf event has been un-canceled.
Poyer, the Pro Bowl safety on the Bills, had announced over the weekend in a lengthy Instagram video that the fundraiser was canceled because there were teams and sponsors who were uncomfortable with it taking place at former president Donald Trump’s Doral course outside Miami.
Poyer announced the news that the tournament is back on for the weekend of July 11 in an interview with Sandra Smith on Fox News on Friday.
PublicSq, the marketplace that seeks to connect “pro-America” shoppers and businesses, has stepped in as the sponsor.
“PublicSq is proud to partner with Jordan Poyer. We’re glad to see he’s standing against the cancel-culture mob that tried to shut down this charity event and we will always support freedom-loving Americans like Jordan whenever there is an opportunity to do so.” Michael Seifert, founder and CEO of PublicSQ, told The Post in a statement.
The event will benefit the Erie County Medical Center Foundation.
Poyer had explained over the weekend why the fundraiser was off.
“I was really excited for this tournament,” the defensive back said in a poolside Instagram video Saturday.
“It was going to be at one of my favorite courses, the Blue Monster at Trump National in Doral.
“Unfortunately, there have been a numerous amount of teams up north that have pulled out of the tournament, not just out of the tournament but also wrote emails to a big sponsor that was going to help sponsor my tournament, and that company now, it’s unfortunate that they have pulled out and decided that they don’t want to take part in my tournament, in which they took part in last year, because of where it’s at, Trump National in Doral.”
Poyer’s wife, model Rachel Bush, also spoke up, lamenting the tournament’s cancellation.
“Let’s be very clear. Jordan did not cancel his event. We will always stand proudly with our beliefs and hold true to them. Publicly,” Bush tweeted earlier this week.
“The event was cancelled due to the arrogance of others, and then backing out last minute leaving us in a difficult spot to make everything happen properly.”
