The nonprofit has raised $25million to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital ‘ranking us as one of the hospital’s largest non-corporate fundraising partners,’ according to its website.

Lamelas is an emergency room physician and founded the chain of MD Now Urgent Care clinics in Florida. 

He is hosting another fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago on April 24 featuring Trump and other GOP heavy hitters including Reps. Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Colorado Times Recorder reported.

That event costs a whopping $5,000 per couple with VIPs paying $10,000 per couple, according to an invitation obtained by the outlet.

The events comes amid a string of fundraisers held at Trump properties including Mar-a-Lago. 

The Colorado Times Recorder noted that Boebert’s April 24 appearance will be her second trip to West Palm Beach in three months after she co-headlined a fundraiser with Rep. Matt Gaetz in February for Sen. Mike Lee, which was also hosted by Lamelas.

Last week, Sen. Lindsey Graham was pictured golfing with Donald Trump at Trump International in West Palm Beach.

Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show Graham, 65, wearing a red polo with the logo for South Carolina – which he represents in the Senate. Trump wore his usual white polo with a red MAGA hat as the golf buddies hit the links.

After, Trump, 74, was seen in Instagram videos returning to Mar-a-Lago to cheers from his supporters.

‘How are you? Nice to see you,’ Trump said to the crowd. ‘This is a good looking crop of people.’

Graham and Trump have been seen golfing together a number of times, most recently in March when rising LPGA star Jaye Marie Green joined them for an outing. 

Last week, top Fox News stars were also seen descending on the Mar-a-Lago resort for a party held by a conservative non-profit which was recently joined by the former president’s chief of staff.

The Conservative Partner Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which was started in 2017 by former South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint to promote conservatives in Washington.

It is ‘dedicated to providing a platform for citizen leaders, the conservative movement, Members of Congress, congressional staff and scholars to be connected,’ according to its site.

In January, days after Trump left office, it was announced that his former chief of staff Mark Meadows had joined the group to ‘operate behind the scenes’, according to Axios.

During that event, Larry Kudlow and Jeanine Pirro were pictured at the plush Florida resort at the event for the Conservative Partner Institute on Thursday.

Scores of maskless guests were seen enjoying themselves at the outdoor event.

In exclusive DailyMail.com photos, Kudlow is seen wearing a blue suit while smoking a cigarette, while Pirro is also seen mingling with guests. 

Trump was seen speaking at the Conservative Partner Institute event in pictures posted to Instagram.

On Wednesday night, Melania Trump made her second public appearance in a week when she joined her husband for dinner at a private roped-off table at Mar-a-Lago. 

It was just the seventh time since Trump left office in January that Melania, 50, that was seen out and about in pictures taken by guests at the resort and shared on social media. 

Trump and Melania sat next to each other at a round table outdoors at one of Mar-a-Lago’s restaurants.
