LIST: Orlando events honoring 8th anniversary of Pulse nightclub shooting

Fundraising for Pulse Memorial starts over

Fundraising for the Pulse Memorial will start over after the OnePulse Foundation dissolved last year. The city has now opened applications for an advisory committee.

ORLANDO, Fla. - For some, the start of June is the celebration of Pride month, but for the Orlando community, it's a month spent remembering the 2016 Pulse nightclub tragedy.

This year marks the eighth anniversary of the tragedy that took 49 lives, and left an impact on the community.
