The seventh annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic raised close to $600,000. Held May 21-22 in Norman, Oklahoma, the fundraiser was comprised of a dinner/auction/concert and golf tournament. The event has raised almost $3 million since its inception for Oklahoma’s children battling cancer and their families. Larry The Cable Guy served as emcee while Keith jumped on stage to perform with headliner David Allan Coe. Surprise guest Phil Vassar also took the stage. Top draws in the auction included dinner for 20 with Keith. He agreed to do two dinners, one for each of the top bidders at $28,000 a piece. A Super Bowl package went for $16,000 and top silent auction items included a canvas of Keith featuring the lyrics to “Cryin’ For Me (Wayman’s Song)” for $3,900, Vikings and Jets Brett Favre jerseys at $4,100 and a Cal Ripken Jr. package that brought in $3,500.
