Officials with the Badge of Honor Association, which raises money for the families of fallen police officers, presented a check Thursdayfor $10,600 to the Hunter’s Hope Foundation.

Hunter’s Hope, which promotes universal newborn screening, will receive a portion of the money raised at the association’s Policeman’s Ball.

Former Buffalo Bill Jim Kelly and his wife, Jill, formed the foundation after their son, Hunter, was diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy, an inherited fatal nervous system disease.

The Badge of Honor Association was founded by South Buffalo native Justin Collins, a member of the Rochester Police Department.
