Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic Returns June 12-13

Themed to celebrate 250 years of American independence, the 22nd Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic returns on June 12-13. Country hitmaker Trace Adkins leads the entertainment, with celebrated radio and TV personality Shawn Parr and business leader/philanthropist Jim West hosting and leading the live auction. Opening with the annual Friday night dinner at Riverwind Casino, the invite-only event carries over with the next day's shotgun-start golf tournament at Keith's Belmar Golf Club.

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. Among them this year:

About The Toby Keith Foundation:

In 2024, the Toby Keith Foundation celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the opening of OK Kids Korral – a cost-free home for families with children receiving medical care. Marking the milestone, the Foundation bestowed $10,000 in grants to 10 local children's charities. Last year's

20th Anniversary Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic brought in $3.1 million for a to-date total of $20 million raised. With a new endowment established, Keith's family pledged continued commitment to the foundation's good works. In his final interview, Toby Keith told a local reporter that OK Kids Korral "is my best gift I’ve ever given to the world."
