The Noah Farrelly Memorial Fund is proud to provide quality, supportive footwear to Binghamton City School District students in need, ensuring they can run and play safely. Thanks to the generosity of our donor community, our program has served more than 2,000 students to date, a testament to the success and growth of our initiative. 

After serving more than 1,000 runners throughout Upstate New York, our program will narrow in scope to provide wearable identification to Binghamton City School District Cross Country athletes for the 2026-27 school year.

Soon after the news of Noah's tragic accident spread, our family was moved and amazed by the wide variety of individuals who reached out to us to share their stories of how Noah had made a difference in their lives. The acts they described weren't rare, extraordinary, or heroic--just small everyday acts of caring, compassion, or moral support that genuinely mattered to them. Those stories inspired this scholarship that recognizes kindness as the quality in a person that matters most.

We invite Binghamton City School District students, faculty, and staff to share their own stories of how their chosen nominee made a difference in their lives or the lives around them by demonstrating a spirit of humanity and goodwill towards others. The winner is selected by a committee of friends dear to Noah's heart.

Contact the Binghamton High School guidance office for more details.
