The 15th Annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic raised more than $1,090,000 earlier this month at Belmar Golf Club and Riverwind Casino. Among the top five totals in the event’s history, this year’s funds will continue the good work of OK Kids Korral, which provides a cost-free home to children and families seeking treatment at Oklahoma City area hospitals.

The event opened with a Friday night gala featuring performances by Mac McAnally (“All These Years”), Paul Overstreet (“When You Say Nothing At All”), Jamey Johnson (“Give It Away”), Scotty Emerick, and Red Steagall. Restless Heart concluded the night of entertainment, taking the stage for a full set.

Attendees included Olympic gold medalists Mike Eruzione (1980 hockey team) and Bart Conner (gymnast), basketball star Nancy Lieberman and OU women’s head coach Sherri Coale, NFL greats Ray Childress (Houston Oilers) and Walt Garrison (Dallas Cowboys), former MLB pitchers Kevin Gross and Brad Penny, actor/musician/poet Red Steagall and actor Buck Taylor (Gunsmoke).
