When most people think of Orlando, they think of fun times and memories associated with trips to this exciting city, filled with lots of fun activities for people of all ages. Right now, Orlando is being seen across the country and presumably across the world with a slightly different emotion in mind: sadness.
Despite this sadness, many people in the city of Orlando, across the state and across the country have rallied together to help in any way that they can following the tragic shooting last weekend.
One large, local Orlando presence who has stepped up to help in light of this tragedy and the larger community it affects is the Walt Disney Company. The company has donated one million dollars to the OneOrlando Fund. This fund was created by Buddy Dyer, Orlando Mayor after the shooting at Pulse night club.
Disney has also used its large network of employees to help have a physical helping presence. They have opened five blood donation locations across their expansive property in collaboration with OneBlood to allow any who wish to donate blood to do so. If their employees would like to make a monetary donation to the cause, Disney has also decided to match all those donations as additional support for this fund.
As proud and active members of the Orlando community, we are glad to work with and support such generous companies like Disney.
