Tony Khan had this to say in a recent press release regarding the event:
"On behalf of the Jaguars and AEW, it’s an honor to support KultureBall and the example it sets for live events across the nation and the around the world.

The event will take place on August 27th 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama, where there will also be awards handed out to those who have done exceptional work for the charity.
Tony Khan and AEW have done a lot of charity work already in 2022
KultureCity isn't the only charity that Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling have done major work with so far in 2022. The most notable was the work the company has done with the Owen Hart Foundation.
In the lead-up to the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, Tony Khan put together a men's and women's tournament to celebrate AEW's work with the charity founded by Owen Hart's widow Martha Hart.

Thank you Dr. Martha Hart, Oje Hart & Athena Hart for joining us tonight as @AEW honors the legacy of the late great Owen Hart! https://t.co/4vayhDLBwy
Martha and her children were seen at a number of All Elite Wrestling events, with her presenting the winners of the respective tournaments, Adam Cole and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., with championship belts.
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether or not the Owen Hart Cup Tournaments will return in 2023. However, the great charity work that the company has done will continue no matter what time of year it is.
