Fulgoni would not be able to take on the endeavor of saving the Coltrane Home by himself. It would take an assemblage of passionate individuals to help others understand why the Home was so important. With an established idea of what the future could hold for the Home in his mind, Fulgoni started to build important connections. Various news and media outlets began to hear of the developments taking place at the Home and wanted to feature the endeavors as proper news articles and interviews. Local Long Island papers, the New York Daily News, and magazines such as JazzTime featuring writer Stanely Crouch, began reporting on the status of the Dix Hills Coltrane Home and its risk of being demolished. As people read the articles, they shared them with friends who could potentially provide aide in the effort to save the Home. This made the initial local reach of the reports go far beyond New York State. Fulgoni started to receive emails from supporters from all over the world, stating that they had read the publications and wanted to know how they could be of assistance to the cause. He then began to rally support through emails from people expressing their opposition to the Home being torn down to serve as proof to the Town that it was crucial that this house stay standing. Supporters in all states and countries attested that the Home held immense historical value, and how it would be an absolute tragedy to have it destroyed.
Alongside the gathering of the emails, Fulgoni had also spent time building connections and rallying the support likeminded people, getting volunteers to assist with the rescue project. These volunteers would later form the not-for-profit organization the Friends of The Coltrane Home.
Through these combined efforts and dedication to the cause, Fulgoni and The Coltrane Homes supporters finally gained the attention of the Town of Huntington. In 2004, the town agreed to deem the Home a local historic landmark. The landmark status of the Home paired with its planned demolition project made others begin to feel the same sense of urgency as Fulgoni and his supporters had been harboring. One year later, the Town of Huntington purchased the home for $975,000 and transferred the deed of the home to Fulgoni and the Friends organization. At long last the Coltrane home was safe and no longer at risk of demolition thanks to the dedicated fans and volunteers who saw the true value of the Home and its potential for the future.
