WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington nightclub is hosting a fundraiser for the victims of the Orlando mass shooting tonight.

Ibiza Nightclub at 118 Market Street will dropped its cover charge and accepted donations.

Club General Manager Justin Thuesen said Ibiza is an all-inclusive, alternative nightclub.
