**Binghamton Fire Department Honors Fallen Firefighter with Memorial Fundraiser**

The Binghamton Fire Department is holding a special fundraiser to honor John "JR" Gaudet, a dedicated firefighter who passed away on February 12, 2025. JR Gaudet, remembered as one of "Binghamton's Bravest," was committed to serving the community, and his legacy is being commemorated through a memorial apparel fundraiser.

The online store for the JR Gaudet Memorial Fundraiser will close tomorrow, March 5th, at the end of the day. Proceeds from the sale of apparel will directly support the memorial fund established in his honor.

Supporters can visit the fundraiser's website at https://bfdjr.itemorder.com/shop/home/ to make purchases. Details regarding pick-up will be shared soon.

This is the final opportunity for members of the community to contribute to JR Gaudet’s memorial fund through this initiative. The Binghamton Fire Department encourages everyone to participate and help keep JR's memory alive.

Stay tuned to the Binghamton Fire Department for further updates.
