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.
The Chesapeake Conservancy
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore
The Maryland Zoo, a beloved Baltimore landmark, has become an integral part of several Corrigan Sports events. As the host venue for the Baltimore 10 Miler, the Zoo provides a unique setting where participants begin and end their race, celebrating their achievements in this iconic location. The Zoo also takes center stage in the Baltimore Marathon, where full marathon runners enjoy the unique experience of running through its grounds and catching glimpses of the resident animals. Corrigan Sports greatly values this ongoing partnership and is proud to support the Maryland Zoo with biannual donations.
What Would Stew Dew
The mission of the Annapolis Police Foundation is to assist the community of Annapolis, Maryland by raising charitable funds to support the Annapolis Police Department in increasing the capacity and improving the effectiveness of police programs and community outreach activities. The Annapolis Running Festival came to fruition in 2022 as did our partnership with the Annapolis Police Foundation. Every year, the Annapolis Police Foundation chooses an active police officer to run the Annapolis Half Marathon as the official charity chaser. This runner starts the race in last place, and for every runner they pass, Corrigan Sports Donates $2 to the Annapolis Police Foundation.
