Donations to the foundation are used for the construction and operation of an official memorial and museum, community grants and educational programs and scholarships. “We would like to sincerely thank Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando and the Hard Rock Heals Foundation for their charitable donation of $10,000. Your incredible generosity and continued support are invaluable in making our vision a reality,” onePulse said on its Facebook page. (Courtesy Hard Rock)
