When we saw our neighbors struggling because they didn’t have access to their businesses, we knew we had to do something.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) June 21, 2016
On June 12, 2016 Orlando was rocked by tragedy as a lone gunman opened fire inside Pulse Nightclub killing 49 people and wounding 53 more. As a community, our collective hearts began to as we learned more and more about the tragic events that had unfolded. City, State, and Federal elected leaders and law enforcement descended on Pulse Nightclub to begin to put the pieces together to ascertain exactly what occurred as their investigation began.
Unfortunately, local businesses in the immediate vicinity of the crime scene were forced to temporarily close their doors as access was closed off by law enforcement. This meant that local small businesses were no longer hearing their cash registers ring, and with no money coming in; a tremendous financial strain was put on the owners and their employees.
“When we saw our neighbors struggling because they didn’t have access to their businesses, we knew we had to do something,” said Kevin Johnson, 11 Interactive Media CEO. “As businesses are beginning to be allowed to reopen, we need to make sure that they are able to get the word out that they are ready to welcome customers back into their stores. As a community, we need to make sure that we support these amazing businesses, and make sure they are not forgotten.”
