Binghamton Firefighters Hit the Streets to ‘Give Cancer the Boot’

The Binghamton Fire Department is once again proving that their dedication extends far beyond emergencies. Today, Friday, October 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., firefighters will be out at the intersection of Front Street and Clinton Street, hosting their annual “Give Cancer the Boot” fundraiser.

Small Donations, Big Impact

If you’re driving through the area, you’ll likely see the firefighters holding their boots high, inviting you to drop in spare change or maybe even something more. It’s a simple way to get involved, but every coin, every dollar, helps fuel life saving research in the fight against breast cancer.

Local Organizations Stand Together

At 11 a.m., members of the Broome County Health Department will also be on hand, offering their support and joining the effort. It’s a true community event, showing how local organizations can come together to make a real difference.

The Binghamton Fire Department is encouraging everyone from residents and visitors alike to stop by and contribute. Whether you can make a big donation or just empty the change from your cupholder, every bit matters. Together, small acts of generosity add up to something powerful.
