Toby Keith’s 14th Annual Golf Classic Set for June 2 & 3 to Benefit OK Kids Korral

Toby Keith will host his 14th annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic at Belmar Golf Club and Riverwind Casino in his hometown of Norman, Okla., on June 2–3.

The fundraiser helps support Toby’s OK Kids Korral Foundation, a facility offering a home away from home for children with cancer—and their families—seeking treatment in Oklahoma City. The Korral is completely cost-free to families who stay. Last year’s Classic raised $1.175 million for the Korral.

The two-day event features a gala dinner, a celebrity golf tournament and an auction. Auction items include a guitar autographed by Merle Haggard and memorabilia from Cal Ripken, Jr., Dale Earnhardt Jr., Derek Jeter, Dak Prescott, Greg Jennings, Johnny Bench, Eli Manning, Wayne Gretzsky and Phil Mickelson.

Sam Bowie, Rocky Calmus, Nancy Lieberman, Scotty Emerick, Walt Garrison, Bart Conner and Ray Childress are already confirmed for the event.
