Philadelphia’s LGBT community will come together this week to raise funds for the victims of the Orlando massacre.
ICandy, 254 S. 12th St., will host Heart: A Benefit for the Victims of Pulse 9 p.m.-midnight Wednesday. Proceeds from the event will help defray funeral costs for victims of Sunday’s attack at a gay nightclub, in which 49 people were killed, including Philadelphian Akyra Murray.
There is a suggested donation of $3-$10.
The event will feature $2 well drinks. Performers include Bev, Brooklyn Ford, Ariel Versace, Mimi Imfurst, Vinchelle, Iris Spectre, ZsaZsa St. James, Chachi Divine, Luke Grooms and Maria Top Cat. More entertainers are expected to join the lineup. A number of items have been donated by local business for raffles.
