WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The FAM Volleyball Tournament took place at Holidays Sports Bar and Volleyball on Harlem Road in West Seneca on Saturday.
This is a major fundraiser for FAM, which stands for the Firefighter Arno Memorial Foundation.
The foundation was created in memory of 37-year-old firefighter Jason Arno, who died while battling a four-alarm fire on Main Street in Buffalo's theater district back in March 2023.
"The whole idea is to get members of the community out, have a little bit of fun, play and remember our brother Jay," Tim Max of the FAM Foundation said. "This is firefighters, this is police officers, this is other first responders. We have people from AMR represented here, we have family, friends, relatives, community members, people who really like to play volleyball, and everywhere in between. "
Participants and spectators paid $20 to get in, which included food from Great Lakes Pizza Company, along with raffles.
