Matthew’s family and friends established the race to honor Matthew, who passed away from leukemia at age 9. He was first diagnosed with ALL at age 4 and later experienced a rare relapse. The event generates funds for families managing pediatric cancer, continuing to focus on Matthew’s narrative: a child remembered for his courage, humor, and zest for life during treatment.

A portion of the proceeds benefits Kids' Meals, a Houston-area charity that combats childhood hunger.

The Karbach Brewing Monster Mash Run is a Halloween race in Houston, part of the Houston Holiday Series.

Costumes are encouraged, making the field part road race and part Halloween parade. The setup is built for families: adults can walk or run the whole Fun Run course beside their children, and kids receive candy goodie bags upon finishing. Many parents run the 5K first, then meet their kids for the shorter race. Bib and shirt pickup is at the Lower Manito Park Picnic Shelter, and all race proceeds go to Active4Youth, a local nonprofit that introduces children to sports and healthy activities.
