Ben Bader's pals have banded together to raise money to cover the cost of a Miami celebration of life following his death at 25. One day after the Florida-based influencer's death was announced on Monday, October 27, two of his closest friends launched a GoFundMe "in honor of our beloved best friend Ben Bader" to raise money for memorial costs, as well as to continue his legacy. The organizers of the fundraiser, Jimmy Farley and Phillip Karcz, announced the donation page on their social media accounts and have contributed a combined total of $25,000 toward the cause, Us Weekly has learned.
