Toby Keith’s got one big ole heart.
After revealing a stomach cancer diagnosis back in June of 2022, Toby cancelled the remainder of his shows and has remained largely out of the public eye while the country community rallied behind him.
We did get some great news awhile back when he sat down with CMT and said he’s “feeling good” and hopes to tour again after taking some time to rest and heal up.
But despite his own struggles, there was no stopping the Big Dog Daddy from helping the world as he could. The 19th edition of his Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic raised a record breaking $1.9 million for OK Kids Korral, which provides no-cost living space to children and their families battling cancer. Since its inception, the event has raised almost $18 million.
And just today it was announced that Toby was teaming up with every bargoer’s best friend, TouchTunes, to raise even more money for the organization.
The Toby Keith Presents: Made In America playlist is available now on more than 65,000 TouchTunes jukeboxes nationwide, just in time for the 4th of July. And a portion of the proceeds from ever play will go directly to the OK Kids Korral.
TouchTunes president and CEO Ross Honey had the following to say about the partnership.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with legend Toby Keith in this way. At TouchTunes, we exist to connect people through the power of music, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to do so in support of this important cause.”
Gotta love it.
Even when facing unthinkable struggles of his own, Toby Keith steps up to provide for those who need it.
Big shout out to Toby and TouchTunes. I know I’ll be cranking up a few songs off this playlist when I stumble into my next dive bar.
