Everything’s a little glum around Orlando today, and there’s a reason for that. It’s been three months since a shooter took 49 lives at Pulse Orlando and harmed 53 others. As a sort of grieving mile marker, the Abbey in Thornton Park is holding an event that promises to lift spirits and, likely, draw tears.
Pulse owner Barbara Poma is expected to be there, as is the Orlando Gay Chorus. Evin (“Angels: A Song to Orlando”) will perform followed by Brandon Parsons (“49 Times”). Information about the Angels at the Abbey fundraiser for Pulse of Orlando can be found below.
ORLANDO, Fla. – The Abbey in downtown Orlando will host the fundraising event “Angels At The Abbey: A Benefit For Pulse of Orlando” on September 12, 2016 in Orlando, Florida.

Other performances include Evin, singer of “Angels (A Song To Orlando)” and the Orlando Gay Chorus.
