At Sydney Airport yesterday evening, Keith Urban was photographed by news crews. This has caused a lot of people to speculate that he might be the outstanding performer at Toowoomba’s highly anticipated “It’s A Bloke Thing” luncheon. Later that day, he arrived at Wellcamp Airport to a crowd of 500 delighted spectators, each of whom had paid $1 to take part in this unique occasion intended to increase public understanding of and support for prostate cancer research. Urban is passionate about this issue because his father, Robert, passed away from the illness in December 2015 and because other members of his family have also been affected.
In order to support the It’s a Bloke Thing Foundation, popular country singer-songwriter Keith Urban recently visited Australia. This charitable event has raised millions of dollars to support prostate cancer education and research since it began seven years ago. 2017 saw generous locals donate over $1.53 million to this fantastic project. It is now regarded as one of the best midday fundraising campaigns in the country.
Keith generously donated his time and talents for free, which helped the lunchtime fundraiser reach a new high of $2,024,000.00. His selfless acts of kindness helped the event to be a huge success and raised a lot of money for the charitable cause.
