The Lenny Lamb Memorial Skate Contest is sponsored each year by the Town of Huntington and the Friends of Long Island Skateboarding and was held this year at  the newly constructed 15,000 square foot, concrete skateboard park located in Veterans Park in East Northport.

In June 2007, Lamb was killed in a motorcycle accident with his father. Lamb's classmates originally took up a collection and approached Councilman Mark Cuthbertson at the Town of Huntington about doing a special event in honor of Lenny and revolving around what Lenny loved to do most - skateboarding.

Various Long Island skateboard shops were invited to showcase their skateboard apparel in the parking lot during the festivities.
 
All proceeds from the event went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
