Jordan Poyer revealed his annual charity golf event was canceled due to funding withdrawn due to location; Trump National in Doral, Florida.
Poyer took to Instagram openly exasperated by the outcome — and the broader state of America — on Sunday, to tell his followers that golfers and sponsors pulled out “at the last minute” due to “external pressures”.
The All-Pro said Erie County Medical Center – a Buffalo hospital, which he described as a “major sponsor” has pulled out. The ECMC told the Buffalo News they were a “beneficiary”.
“ECMC decided they couldn’t take the pressure from above, from the people above them anymore, and it probably has nothing to do with ECMC,” Poyer said in the lengthy Instagram video.
“I am truly grateful and blessed to have worked with the people I have worked with at ECMC over the past two years,” he said, before revealing the apparent and underlying reality of the situation.

Poyer was to organize the charity event to ‘raise funds for the Buffalo community’
‘I am not naive. I understand where they are on the political spectrum, where New York is on the political spectrum. Am I okay with a lot of things? No I do not know. I’m sorry, but that’s not the case.
“I often say the quiet part out loud and some of you don’t like it. My fault. I still went and put my ego aside and went to help those who needed help or needed help. laugh.
The executive director of the ECMC foundation told The News on Saturday; “The ECMC Foundation was fortunate to be a beneficiary of the Jordan Poyer golf tournament in Florida. Although the Foundation was not a sponsor, we had a great partnership with Jordan and we respect his decision to cancel his tournament; we hope he will consider supporting us in his future events.
According to the ECMC foundation’s website, its mission is “to improve higher education for career success for underserved populations through evidence-based innovation.”
Poyer admitted that while he was “a little” upset about the situation, he was more saddened by the state of the United States
“I’m upset that we’re in America… It seems like our ego is holding us back from being a good human being,” he continued in the Instagram video. [Not] sharing love, sharing conversations, sharing laughs with people who maybe don’t believe in the same things you do, that’s a huge problem in America right now.
“I can put my ego aside any day of the week to go help someone who might be white, black, Asian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, believe in this, believe in that… Honestly, I could because it’s more than me. It’s about helping others. It’s about sharing those experiences and being open to the fact that we’re not perfect.

Avalon Sports, which represents the All-Pro, released a statement detailing the merits of the event, which no one will receive in 2023.
