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, Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Whiteland, New Palestine, Columbus East, Greenwood, Lebanon, and Mooresville High Schools have participated in past PeyBack Classics which are now being played in Lucas Oil Stadium. 

The PeyBack Foundation, along with its official supporters will be responsible for all expenses of the event including the rental of Lucas Oil Stadium.  Sport Graphics is a game night supporter 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 it 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 $3.5 million to youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee, and Louisiana since its inception.  

This year the evening games will be broadcasted live on MyNDY-TV Channel 23.

Advanced tickets for the event will be available at the high schools in mid July.  Each school will benefit from the tickets they sell.
