Toby Keith
Apr 21, 2013

For 10 years, Show Dog - Universal Music artist Toby Keith has given his time and attention to a charitable project close to his heart: providing cost-free housing to children with cancer. The OK Kids Korral is just that project.
Based in Toby's home-state of Oklahoma, the OK Kids Korral is a charity born from the "Toby Keith Foundation." On Friday, May 10th and Saturday, May 11th, Keith will raise funds for the OK Kids Korral through his annual 2-day "Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic" at the Belmar Golf Club in Norman, OK.
In addition to a weekend of golfing, the celebrity event will feature live entertainment, food, and silent auctions. The majority of funds raised from this event, actually comes from the live and silent auctions. This year, items such as tickets to the ACM Awards, naming rights to a room in OK Kids Korral, a TPC Sawgrass Golf Getaway in Ponte Vedre Beach, Fla., a Los Angeles Talk Show ticket package and passes to the Emmy Awards will be available in the live auction, with the silent auction including items such as memorabilia from Taylor Swift, Charlie Daniels, Jimmy Buffet, Derek Jeter, Mia Hamm, Blake Griffin and from Toby Keith himself.
Toby's cause always attracts a host of celebrity friends, including MLB greats Greg Maddux and Bret Saberhagen, Olympic gold medalist Bart Conner, Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, and current and former NFL players Dermontti Dawson, Rocky Calmus, Roy Williams and Tony Casillas.
"Our tenth year event is really a 'Thank You' to all of those people who have supported us over the years," said Toby Keith. "Ten years goes by fast when you are working toward a goal this big."
