Organized by now-retired LBPD Commander Josef Levy, the annual event raises funds benefiting the non-profit National Law Enforcement Cancer Support Foundation and the City of Hope. It honors the memory of Chrissy Strong-Marshall who (Commander Levy writes) "was a friend to many and a former Bureau Manager for the City of Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine Department. As Bureau Manager, Chrissy was responsible for overseeing all recreation programs in the City of Long Beach. Chrissy was known for her passion and dedication to the Long Beach Community and promoted inclusion for all people.
