The Wheel at Icon Park (Photo via press release, Wellons Communications)
In honor of Pulse Remembrance Week, ICON Park will be continuing its annual tradition of lighting up The Wheel in rainbow colors now through June 12.
June 12 will commemorate the six-year mark of the Pulse nightclub attack. To mark the event, ICON Park will be contributing $5 to the onePULSE Foundation for each ticket sold on June 12 to ride The Wheel. Guests will also be given a free Orlando Strong hat.
The onePULSE Foundation was established by owner of Pulse nightclub, Barbara Poma, in order to create a sanctuary of hope following the tragedy of the Pulse nightclub attack. It is an organization that strives to honor the 49 individuals lost, the dozens of others who were injured, and the many first responders who helped at the scene of the attack. Funds from the ICON Park promotion will be used toward supporting the Pulse memorial and museum, building educational programs and funding scholarships for individuals within the community.
In addition, guests visiting The Museum of Illusions Orlando throughout the month of June can purchase a new, limited edition Pride month T-shirt for $24.99. Half of the proceeds from each T-shirt will go to The Center Orlando. The Museum of Illusions Orlando is located within ICON Park, near The Wheel.
ICON Park is part of the Orlando Entertainment District, filled with dozens of restaurants, bars and shops. At the center of the park is The Wheel, an enormous observation wheel standing 40 stories tall. Tickets to take a 20-minute ride on The Wheel are currently $28.99 per person.
Tickets are available at IconParkOrlando.com.
