A charity flag-football game organized to benefit Ventura County Sgt. Ron Helus who was killed in the Borderline club shooting in 2018, was cancelled because Trump-supporting actor Scott Baio was set to speak at the event and Trump-supporting singer Joy Villa was to sing the national anthem:

EXCLUSIVE: A charity football event in honor of fallen Ventura Co. Sgt. Ron Helus has been postponed after organizers say a local police chief took issue w/ Trump supporters @Joy_Villa & @ScottBaio being invited to speak. Law enforcement pulled out, & so did sponsors. 10pm @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/kYcSmnPR8j — Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) October 2, 2019

All money is being returned to donors:

Well, if there’s any good to come out of this, the fundraiser is now a national story and hopefully will raise even more money:
