The Binghamton Bulldogs organization and the YMCA will receive $75,000 each for after-school sports, summer clinics and weekend and evening community events.

Broome County Executive Jason Garnar was among those praising the incentives saying the majority of times he got into trouble as a kid was when he had nothing to do.

The funding is part of a statewide effort to combat gun violence.
