Toby Keith's OK Kids Korral

Each month, our Association plays "Korral the Ace" at our luncheons.  Buy 1 ticket for $1.  If your ticket is drawn, you get to pull a card from the stack of cards.  If you pull the ACE, you win half the pot & the other half goes to OK Kids Korral.  If you don't pull the ACE, the card drawn is disarded and the pot grows for next month!

MISSION

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

ABOUT

The Toby Keith Foundation has been helping children with cancer since 2006 and continues its services through partnerships with hospitals, caregivers, foundations and civic groups.  Their focus is providing a housing solution for pediatric cancer patients.  "If we can alleviate stress on a family, encourage a brother or sister and comfort a sick child, then we will make a difference in the fight against cancer." - Juliet Nees-Bright, Executive Director

GOAL

The goal of OK Kids Korral is to provide the warmth and security of home for pediatric cancer patients and their families.  OK Kids Korral also offers services such as meals for the families, free laundry, complimentary internet through the house, computers/printers, movie nights, crafts and private places for family meetings / counseling.

Several times throughout the year, we volunteer to cook for the OK Kids Korral Chuck Wagon program.  Each meal we help prepare means a lot to the families, bringing warmth and comfort to those facing difficult times.

If you'd like to volunteer to help cook, here is the link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E4FAEA922A3FD0-51962591-okkids#/
