With regard to this past weekend’s tragedy in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people lost their lives in a shooting at a gay night club Pulse, Mix 105.1 – the radio station that organizes next Thursday’s acoustic show feauring Simple Plan, MAGIC! and Ingrid Michaelson – decided to use this event to help in the aftermath of this tragedy.
It was announced that a portion of each ticket sold for Mix 105.1’s Acoustic Summer event, which will be taking place at House of Blues in Orlando, FL on June 23rd will be forwarded to the One Orlando fund. This fund was established by Orlando’s Mayor Buddy Dyer in the wake of the Pulse shooting. The purpose of One Orlando is to provide a way to help and support to nonprofits supporting the victims and families, the LGBTQ, Hispanic, faith and other affected communities, the underlying causes of this tragic event and other related needs.
