Last year's event raised $1.4 million, just below the all-time mark set in 2024. As always, the Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic benefits the Toby Keith Foundation's work supporting OK Kids Korral, which the late singer, songwriter and entertainer called "my best gift I’ve ever given to the world." Beyond the music, dinner and golf, the event has become well known for its amazing array of unique and coveted items available via live and silent auction.

There is so much to learn about the Foundation, that is truly worth taking a look at: https://www.tobykeithfoundation.org.  I have my eye on a few silent auction items, so take a look and consider bidding on some of them. And it's ok if you outbid me, it's all going to a worthy cause. #WeStillMIssTheBigDogDaddy
