Some of the proceeds benefit Lt. James Byler of Huntington, Long Island, who lost both legs in Afghanistan.
"We are hoping to raise enough funds where we can renovate his home to meet his needs," said FDNY team spokesperson Bobby McGuire.
Some of those needs include a ramp, accessible cooking utilities, and handicapped bathroom.
"Being Veteran's Day is right around the corner, I don't know of any better way we could honor our vets than helping one in need and we feel we kind of owe these guys," McGuire told WCBS 880 reporter Sophia Hall.
