Zach Commemorates Toby Keith’s Legacy During Heartwarming Oklahoma City Visit

Toby Keith often spoke about the Korral as a project born out of love, empathy, and a personal calling. During the grand opening in 2013, he revealed that the inspiration came from the tragic story of his close friend and former guitarist, Scott Webb, who lost his two-year-old child to cancer.

“They went to St. Jude’s in a last-ditch effort to save their child’s life,” Keith recalled. “When they came back, they told me they didn’t need to bring anything — because St. Jude’s had everything they needed. That stuck with me. I thought, ‘We need something like that here in Oklahoma.’ It felt like a calling from God.”

Motivated by that experience, Keith invested his energy, time, and resources into building the Korral. What emerged was more than a facility; it became a home away from home for families in desperate need of support, offering them stability, comfort, and hope during uncertain times.
