Head of the foundation Clancy Strickland, a native of Bunkers Hill, who now resides in the Unites States, later told the Observer West that the competition was aimed at fostering unity and harmony in the Bunkers Hill community. “The inspiration to do it also came about because one of our uncles, Emerson Strickland, who had a shop in the community, always gave back to the district, so we really wanted to continue in that vein,” he added.
