The Binghamton Police Benevolent Association has rallied the community, raising more than $10,000 toward a $20,000 goal to support the son of Officer Bradley Coon, who died suddenly.

Officer Coon, a member of the Binghamton Police Department, was not only a devoted public servant but also the primary caretaker for his 12-year-old son, Hugo Kupillas.
