Super Cooper continues to save the day at 6th annual Cooperpalooza
(WIVT/WBGH) – The legacy of a little boy who touched the hearts of Greater Binghamton continues with a fundraiser to benefit pediatric cancer victims this weekend. 4-year-old Cooper Busch died of leukemia in 2018. During his fight with the disease, he captured the attention of the local community with his infectious smile and outgoing personality. That lead to an outpouring of support for his family which decided to keep the momentum going after his passing. The Busch family and friends established the Super Cooper Saves the Day charity, which each year raises about $50,000 to support pediatric cancer patients at Golisano Children's Hospital in Syracuse. Its major fundraiser is the annual Cooperpalooza which takes place on Saturday at Touch of Texas on Upper Front Street. 'I can't really put it into words what it's like for the whole entire community to be supporting you like that. There's nothing like it. You can't experience that until you've experienced something truly awful. So, I don't want people to have to experience that. But, in a way, we got to see the best in people because we have been through such a difficult time. So, we just want to make sure that anybody that's going through a difficult time like we went, has the support,' said Super Cooper Saves the Day President Tara Busch. Busch says her organization also funds meals for patients and their families each week at Golisano. Cooperpalooza runs from noon until 4 on Saturday at Touch of Texas. Admission is free and there will be tons of raffle baskets and lots of kid's activities, all set up in a carnival like atmosphere.
