The golf tournament is in support of the Biletnikoff Foundation, a foundation created in memory of for former player Biletnikoff’s daughter who was tragically murdered. All proceeds go to help troubled youth realize their full potential and learn to love life.

Biletnikoff was proud of the turnout this year:

"“We have such a good response from everybody coming out and it keeps growing every year. We’re putting together a house in Loomis. There’s a rehab program up there for teenagers. They house girls and boys. We’re taking over one of the houses and we got a bunch of people together and they’re going to gut the whole house and re-do the whole house. The response we’ve gotten from guys to donate materials and time has been unbelievable.”"
