Bill Cosby's Orlando Appearance Canceled
ORLANDO (Orlando Business Journal) -- Comedian and actor Bill Cosby's planned Aug. 31 charity appear-ance in Orlando at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center has been canceled. The organization that was hosting the event, Dream Catchers Foundation, plans to refund all tickets and sponsorship money. The event was to benefit the foundation, as well as several Central Florida and national charities. "This is a devastating situation for all parties involved," says foundation spokeswoman Lynn Stewart. "We value the rela-tionships developed during the promotion of this event, and we are determined to preserve them." She cites weak ticket sales as part of the reason behind the cancellation, and says Cosby has offered to reschedule.
