The Toby Keith Foundation and OK Kids Korral

The Toby Keith Foundation exists to encourage the health and happiness of pediatric cancer patients and to support OK Kids Korral a home for children undergoing treatment of cancer.

Since 2006, when The Toby Keith Foundation was founded, Toby’s goal was to create a retreat for families of children battling cancer. Getting the right care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city, which places even more of an emotional and financial burden during what is already a challenging time. OK Kids Korral hopes to make life a little easier for children with cancer by providing a safe, convenient, and hopeful place for families to connect with each other and focus on the well-being of their child. OK Kids Korral will provide daytime and overnight lodging for pediatric patients and their families. The state of the art facilities at the OK Kids Korral will include a community indoor and outdoor dining area, a game room with games for all ages, a movie theater, a business center, a center for learning about cancer and the available treatments; an outdoor play area and garden as well as many other facilities designed to create a relaxing haven for the children and their families.

OK Kids Korral will provide a home for pediatric cancer patients and their families while they are receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Center, Peggy & Charles Stephenson Cancer Center and other nearby facilities. OK Kids Korral will offer the warmth and security of home in a setting where the love and encouragement of others enlighten and inspire guests.
