What Would Stew Dew

Founded by Jennifer Alcorn in memory of her husband Lieutenant Andrew “Stew” Alcorn IV, this donor-advised fund will support various causes, including but not limited to assisting first responders and advocating for children.

Lt. Alcorn was a commander of the Frederick Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division, who passed away unexpectedly passed away in the summer of 2021. He was honored for his dedication and service to the community. Lt. Alcorn was known by family and friends as a “Dew” -er, helping in any way he could.

Corrigan Sports created the Frederick Running Festival Charity Chaser to benefit the What Would Stew Dew Fund. Every year, Stew’s family chooses someone to run the Frederick Half Marathon in his honor. This runner starts the race in last place, and for every runner they pass, Corrigan Sports Donates $2 to the What Would Stew Dew Fund.

Corrigan Sports Enterprises proudly partnered with the Conservancy in 2021 through the Bay Bridge Run.
