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 grown significantly, now serving all seven BCSD elementary buildings along with West Middle School. One thousand five hundred pairs of sneakers have been donated to date, a testament to the success and growth of our initiative. 

All verified NYSPHSSA Section IV High School team members are eligible to receive a FREE $25 gift card and FREE shipping for wearable identification from Road iD courtesy of the Noah Farrelly Memorial Fund. 

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.

This $500 award is renewable for up to four years to a maximum of $2000. Contact the Binghamton High School guidance office for more details. 

Every academic year, two awards worth $1000 each are awarded to one male and one female cross country runner from the Southern Tier Athletic Conference. These awards are presented to runners who demonstrate the same excellent sportsmanship qualities for which Noah was admired by his teammates, opponents, and coaches throughout his STAC running career. The nominees are chosen by their respective program coaches, and the winners are selected through a vote by all STAC cross country coaches.

We're helping to inspire the next generation of runners by providing the full Noah Farrelly Run 5K road race experience for FREE to all registered Spring 2025 Healthy Kids Running Series Binghamton participants!
