The founding drivers of the event are to help promote and assist in the funding of The Ralph V. Martin Family Scholarships and other worthy causes local to Lake Carey and Wyoming or Bradford Counties. Ralph V. Martin Sr. purchased a small cottage on the lake in October 1958. Since then, 4 generations of the Martins have enjoyed the recreation and lake community and want to showcase the value of this natural treasure.
