Toby Keith Promotion Raises $24,000 for Cure Autism Now
Country superstar Toby Keith, on his Hookin' Up and Hangin' Out Tour, ran a radio promotion on San Jose's KRTY-FM last month and proceeds went to Cure Autism Now. This “Super Fan” promotion included once-in-a-lifetime concert experiences including tickets, backstage passes, a meet-and-greet with Toby, dinner with the band and limousine transportation. The bidding war was down to two families and in the end both the Reyes and Ingrom families were able to secure the prize and raise an awesome amount of money for CAN. We thank Toby, KRTY-FM, the families and especially Lisa Owen at Show Dog Nashville for their support.
