Buffalo Ghostbusters Donate $37,000 to FDNY Foundation Following Annual Fundraiser
The Buffalo Ghostbusters, a fan franchise group, has presented a $37,000 check to the FDNY Foundation. This donation, made outside New York City’s iconic Hook & Ladder 8, is the result of their annual Ghostbusters Day fundraising efforts. The FDNY Foundation, the department's official nonprofit organization, will utilize these funds to support its mission, which includes fire and life safety education, as well as providing training and equipment for firefighters and EMS personnel. This year's contribution adds to previous fundraising successes, bringing the cumulative total raised by the Buffalo Ghostbusters since 2021 to over $152,000. Last year, the group raised $50,000 for the Thomas R. Elsasser Fund, which assists families of FDNY members who die in non-line-of-duty circumstances. The initiative began in 2021 with an initial goal of raising $1,000 for a no-ghost logo sign at the firehouse, which ultimately brought in over $8,000.
