The 405 Boyz was established in 2003 by a group of childhood friends who shared a passion for OU football. Their annual gathering for the Red River Showdown in Dallas, TX, served as a platform for fellowship, camaraderie, and networking. Recognizing their collective talents and a shared desire to serve the community and mentor young people, they established the 405 Legacy Foundation, Inc., a non-profit parent company. The foundation's mission is to reach out to the community through various events and service projects, the group's commitment to selfless service and the belief that "We are our brother's keeper."
