Net proceeds benefit areas of greatest need within Eastern Athletics, with last year's event raising more than $117,000. The event is named in honor of Orland Killin, who, along with his wife Bernice, helped create the event. Killin was a man immensely dedicated to academics and the integrity of Eastern Washington University, serving as professor, faculty athletic representative and faculty president. He was an Eastern football letter winner in 1941-42.
 
There is no admission charged for the Red-White Game, which will also be televised regionally by SWX.
 
Last year's event was the first featuring new Eastern Washington University Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics Lynn Hickey. Hickey gave a passionate plea for additional funding for scholarships prior to the live auction portion of the event. Besides a "paddle-raise" for scholarships, there were about a dozen live auction items and about a 100 silent auction items.
