The OK Kids Korral

The OK Kids Korral offers free daytime and overnight lodging for pediatric cancer patients and their families. The facility offers amenities including private suites, a gourmet kitchen, game rooms, common areas for families to meet, and much more. More importantly, it cuts out some of the travel and stress for families with seriously ill children. Keith spoke about OK Kids Korral at its grand opening more than a decade ago.

He found inspiration when friends of his took their child to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. They informed him that they learned that they didn’t need to bring anything with them when they got there. Instead, the Ronald McDonald House near the hospital took care of everything for them. Keith decided that Oklahoma needed something like that.

“It was kind of a calling by God,” Keith said of funding the facility. “It was like I’ve got my foundation, I’ve raised money. Now what am I going to do with it? So, this place was built with that kind of love,” he added.
