VIDEO: An online fundraiser for the family of Corey Comperatore, the man who died shielding his family from gunfire at Saturday's Donald Trump rally in Butler, has raised $1 million.
Jason Bubb, the owner of Three Fit Six gym in Cabot, organized the fundraiser. He said Comperatore's daughter Allyson has been a member of his gym since day one. "She's an awesome client of mine," Bubb said Monday.
His original goal was to raise $7,000.
"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 said.
Bubb said he met Corey years ago when they worked out at the same gym, describing him as a great guy.
"I hope he's remembered as the hero that he was, the father that he was, the husband that he was," Bubb said.
