Money raised by this event, held June 22 at Promontory – The Ranch Club in Park City, Utah, will help fund the Forever Young Foundation's charitable activities in Utah.

The Forever Young Foundation (FYF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization founded by NFL great Steve Young in 1993 to provide educational, athletic, and therapeutic opportunities for children who face significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges. The Foundation focuses its primary efforts in Utah, Northern California, and Arizona.

Forever Young's activities include developing interactive, recreational therapy centers (Forever Young Hospital Zones) in health care facilities such as the "Zone" in Salt Lake City's Primary Children's Medical Center. Forever Young Foundation also partners with the National Football League to create educational computer centers (Forever Young Technology Zones) in NFL Youth Education Towns to enhance the lives of children in underserved urban communities.

"Much like football, when we pull together as a team, focusing our efforts toward a common goal, we can accomplish great works," said Forever Young Foundation founder Steve Young. "It is a privilege to partner with James Lee and James LeVoy Sorenson and the Sorenson Companies to improve the lives of children living in our surrounding communities. This adds a new and welcome dimension to what is already a positive business and personal relationship." Young, an NFL Hall of Famer, is also a co-founder and managing director of Sorenson Capital, which received its title funding from Sorenson Development Inc and the Sorenson family.
