Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates star/eternal heartthrob Zac Efron teamed up with luxury clothing retailer Baja East to help raise money for victims of the recent and tragic shooting at gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando — an incident that claimed 49 lives. 
Zac showed off the brand's "Be Proud" tee, saying in an Instagram post, "I've got mine. Get yours. Help support Orlando's Pulse Victims Fund. #BEproud#LoveisLove."
Thanks for being so supportive of the LGBT community, Zac! All sales of the Baja East t-shirt benefit Equality Florida's Pulse Victims Fund.
