NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Country music star and Oklahoma native Toby Keith says a charity golf tournament he started last year in Oklahoma City will return for a second year.

The "Toby Keith and Friends Golf Classic" benefits Ally's House, an organization named after former bandmate's daughter who died of cancer.

Keith and others will perform during a concert May sixth in Oklahoma City, then golf teams will randomly draw a celebrity partner for the tournament the next day.

Last year's event raised 250-thousand dollars for Ally's House, which is named for Allison Webb who died shortly before her third birthday of a form of kidney cancer.

Ally's House helps pay for treatment, short-term housing for family, groceries and funeral expenses.
