PEYBACK CLASSIC IX SET FOR FRIDAY, AUGUST 22 –

FIRST EVENT IN LUCAS OIL STADIUM

PeyBack Classic IX will be played on Friday, August 22 at the new Lucas Oil Stadium.  This will be the first ever football game to be in the new stadium and will feature a special doubleheader to kick off the high school football season with Noblesville vs. Fishers in the opener (6:05 pm start) followed by New Palestine vs. Whiteland (30 minutes after first game ends) in the final game.

Peyton Manning launched the PeyBack Classic in 2000, enabling IPS high schools to play a regular season game in the RCA Dome.  In 2004, the Foundation invited other schools to have the opportunity to play.  Terre Haute South, North Central, Lawrence North, Warren Central, Carmel, Roncalli, Chatard, Zionsville, Hamilton Southeastern, Cathedral, Tipton, Sheridan, Lafayette Jefferson and Avon high schools have participated in past PeyBack Classics.

The PeyBack Foundation, along with its official sponsors (AirTran, American Family Insurance, Kraft, MasterCard, NERF Footballs, Reebok, Sony, Sprint, St. Vincent Health and Zurich) will be responsible for all expenses of the event, including the rental of Lucas Oil Stadium.  Sport Graphics is a game night sponsor and the Foundation serves as the event organizer.

Manning established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to help disadvantaged youth build a successful future for themselves and accomplishes its mission through helping established community-based programs provide fundamental leadership and growth opportunities for kids.  The PeyBack Foundation focuses its efforts in a three state region and has donated more than $3 million to youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee and Louisiana since its inception

This year both games will be broadcasted live on WNDY-TV Channel 23.

Advanced tickets for the event will be sold for $10 at the four participating schools at the beginning of the school year in August.   Schools will receive a portion of advance ticket sales sold at their schools.
