#VoteRays (@RaysBaseball) June 14, 2016

This Friday night, the Tampa Bay Rays' annual Pride Night, which began in 2007, will go beyond the usual symbolic support of the local LGBT community.

Undoubtedly, the baseball game against the San Francisco Giants will be of secondary importance to many fans in attendance after Sunday's devastating attack against the queer community in Orlando , Florida. A game will indeed happen and fans will cheer, but the night's true stars will be the people donating blood and money around Tropicana Field to help the victims.

There will be time for pre-game dedications, remembrances and a moment of silence on Friday night, but fans will take it upon themselves to commit to real action. On Tuesday, the Rays announced a series of in-game initiatives for fans to tangibly show their support and help victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
