Keith Urban was spotted by the paparazzi at Sydney airport last night. This has led many to believe he could be a featured performer at the much-anticipated Toowoomba It’s A Bloke Thing lunch.
Later that day, he arrived at Wellcamp Airport in front of 500 excited people who each paid $1 to attend this unique event dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer and funding research.
This is a cause close to Urban’s heart. His father, Robert, died of the disease in December 2015, and several family members were also affected. Popular country singer-songwriter Keith Urban recently returned to his native Australia to support the It’s a Bloke Thing Foundation.
Since its inception seven years ago, the charity has raised millions of dollars to raise awareness of prostate cancer and fund research. This amazing initiative received over $1.53 million in donations from sympathetic community members in 2017.
It is now considered one of the most effective afternoon fundraisers in the country. Keith generously offered his talents for free, contributed to the fundraising dinner and helped set a new record of $2,024,000.00.
His selfless generosity contributed greatly to the success of the event and raised significant funds for the charity.
