America250 Celebration: Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic Fundraiser for OK Kids Korral
The annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic is back this year with an America250 theme, celebrating America's 250th birthday. The event, which serves as a fundraiser for the Toby Keith Foundation's OK Kids Korral, will take place on June 12-13. The two-day event includes a Friday night dinner at Norman's Riverwind Casino and a golf tournament at Keith's Belmar Golf Club in Norman on Saturday. Country music star Trace Adkins will headline the entertainment, with Shawn Parr and Jim West hosting the gala and live auction.
In 2025, the event raised $1.4 million, just below the record set in 2023. The funds raised help support the OK Kids Korral, a cost-free home for children receiving medical treatment in Oklahoma City. The Toby Keith Foundation also marked the 10th anniversary of the OK Kids Korral in 2024 by awarding grants to 10 local children's charities. Since Toby Keith's passing in 2024, his family has continued his foundation's work, ensuring the legacy of the OK Kids Korral.
The Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic is known for its unique live and silent auction items. Some of the items up for auction this year include a one-of-a-kind ring honoring Keith, custom-made spurs, a hand-tooled leather-covered guitar, trips to Ireland and Italy, a Kentucky Derby package, concert tickets, and more. The silent auction features autographed memorabilia from sports and music stars, golf gear, trips, jewelry, and more. Fans can bid on silent auction items online.
