"It would hurt the program's budget to treat them fairly" could be perfectly rational behavior. You don't know the event organizer's instrumental goals - although there does appear to be some disconnect between the expressed goals and the revealed preferences.
The event organizer's actions might even be legal ("Your contract is garbage," without a lot more context, is not a legal argument).
It's still a jerk move. And I sympathize with the people being hurt by it.
Still, I don't care about Cryonics events. I'm writing only to try and help you calibrate how to write persuasively and informatively.
