The event is being held to benefit CARES Foundation, which is the only nonprofit in the United States that raises awareness, funds research and provides support for families affected by Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), a life threatening adrenal disorder.

Contests will also be held throughout the game in which winners can take home great prizes, ranging from gift cards to local businesses to free camp tuition at Willow Lake Day Camp in Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey.
