Purpose

This event is held in honor of Corporal Matthew Tyler Snook, a member of the Delaware State Police who was killed in the line of duty. Corporal Snook leaves behind a young family, including a 1‑year‑old daughter.

The goal of this event is to bring our community together to show our support in a meaningful way. This is not a commercial competition or promotional fundraiser. It is a community honor event centered on service, unity, and support.
