A GoFundMe initiative has raised over $1 million for the family of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who died shielding his family from bullets meant for former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Jason Bubb, who owns the Three Fit Six gym in Cabot, organized the fundraiser for Comperatore's daughter Allyson, who frequents the establishment. 'She's an awesome client of mine,' Bubb told WTAE.
Originally, Bubb intended to raise just $7,000 for the Comperatore family, but as of Tuesday morning, over 20,000 backers had donated more than $1,114,000. 'And now I'm in it, and I'm going to do it to my fullest power to help her, and by all means, this is all about that family,' Bubb told WTAE. Bubb said he met Corey years ago when they worked out at the same gym, and described him as a great guy.
hope he's remembered as the hero that he was, the father that he was, the husband that he was,' Bubb said.
