The event’s focus, according to sponsors, is to encourage students to do well in the upcoming school year and to urge them to be who God wants them to be in their schools.

According to sponsors: “Urge is designed to help them to see the importance of shining their light and being Jesus in their schools. This year's message is calling for students to make an impact in their schools.”

Urge features Courtnee Morris as the guest speaker along with the Mike Lee Band (worship), Voyage (pop/rock), and B List Boys (hip hop).
