About this place Pulse Memorial

The Pulse nightclub at 1912 South Orange Avenue was the site of the June 12, 2016 shooting that killed 49 people and wounded dozens more, most of them young, Latino and LGBTQ+. The City of Orlando bought the site in 2023 and now runs the memorial project. The club building was demolished in March 2026. The permanent design has 49 columns, a reflecting pool on the old dance floor's footprint and a pavilion for artifacts from the club, with opening targeted for late 2027. While construction goes on, the site can be seen only from outside the fence, where a small area is kept for flowers and notes. Check the city's Pulse Memorial page before visiting.

I think love, peace, and acceptance of people regardless of sexual orientation are stronger than hate, violence and discrimination.

Why does a museum and gift shop need to be built all because 49 innocent people lost lives along with the countless injured survivors?? I don’t understand why the OnePulse Foundation isn’t to help the survivors and families of the lost lives. The ones who survived, survived….but they will forever be physically, emotionally, and mentally damaged. All of the assistance offered to the survivors and families are no longer in place and the funds have ran out, yet One Pulse Foundation is not offering one single cent to help the survivors or the families. Instead a museum is going to be built with a gift shop…… How about help the survivors who are still struggling in every way!!!!!! If they weren’t helped and protected on June 12, 2016, how about help and protect them now!!!! THEY SHOULD MATTER!!!! Then, Now, and for the rest of their lives…… PTSD, Survivors Quilt, Physical Disabilities NEVER GO AWAY!!!! Let that sink in to everyone over One Pulse Foundation and to everyone who supports it!!!!!!

I know a lot of people that are owner, CEO, and others. They are all very amazing men and women. Each and everyone has put their personal touch thoughts, hands, time, money and more toward the Pulse Foundation and all the other great things to come. I raise my hand to them all of them. They are and will be doing amazing things for lost loved ones and for the future. Thank you too all of you amazing gold hearted people.
