Hamburger Mary’s Big Charity Event for Pulse Employees
Hamburger Mary’s Tampa threw a huge charity event Thursday night. The packed house was given a great night of community performing artists for the Orlando murder tragedy. Kurt King, dressed to the occasion as ‘Kurtrina’ and filled buckets with cash that would be passed on to the employees of Orlando’s Pulse Night Club through the Pulse Night Club Go Fund Me page.
“You have to really feel for all the people, friends, those that were wounded, killed and worked as employees at Pulse Night Club. It is on my mind. It is so sad. I knew I had to do something and now!” said Hamburger Mary’s Tampa owner, Kurt King.
Thousands came to contribute to the call of help. Attendees included Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin Beckner, Tampa City Councilman Guido Maniscalco, American Goddess winner Alexis Mateo (also 2016 Miss Tampa Pride & Miss Gay Days Orlando) and a cast of 40 performers.
Over $8,000 was collected & donated on Thursday alone. Receipts and donations are still being collected at Hamburger Mary’s Tampa & Clearwater.
Polk Pride Festival Presented….
Polk Pride Festival Presented….
This years Polk Pride Festival has grown to added events. This is the 2nd year for the young organizers. The Saturday Pride in the Park Festival Expo in Munn Park had a wide variety of local and statewide exhibitors all supporting the local GLBT event with a lot of security. The exhibitors, local organizations and Food Trucks were all around the Gen Robert E Lee Statue in downtown Lakeland’s Confederate Park (Munn Park).
Taking up a sound safety corridor because if the Orlando tragedy, the Lakeland Police were there in force. The increase of people coming out to support the festival was truly amazing. People had smiles on there faces and that is what Polk Pride organization officials tried to accomplish.
Lakeland GLBT community held an Orlando Strong Candlelight Vigil in downtown Lakeland and had over 1500 attendees just days before there Pride.
TAMPA PRIDE was there for support and are participating in all community Prides. Many local political leaders gave their speeches for GLBT support. The days entertainment also was incredible with DJ Greg Anderson at the helm of the music mixing, inspirational dancing groups, live singing performers and the unlimited comedy performances by Kathryn Nevets with 6 other top drag pageantry of glamour performances.
The After Pride Party events were held at the gay bar with crazy bartender Mike B, Club Main Street in the downtown Lakeland area.
