Hudiburg Chevrolet Buick GMC and Ally Financial raise more than $10,000 for Oklahoma military families

Month-long campaign supports Operation Homefront

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – With the help of the Oklahoma City community, Hudiburg Chevrolet Buick GMC and Ally Financial raised $10,930 in July to benefit Operation Homefront Oklahoma, an organization that provides emergency financial assistance to military families. The donation was presented to Carol Herrick, executive director of Operation Homefront Oklahoma/Arkansas on Wednesday, Aug. 7 during a celebration in the Hudiburg Chevrolet showroom.

“We are so appreciative of the continued support from Hudiburg and Ally,” Herrick said. “Many of our military families in Oklahoma truly need the assistance we give them, and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of our generous donors.”

Hudiburg Chevrolet Buick GMC donated $20 for each of the 210 new cars sold in July and $1 from each of the 1,123 oil changes throughout the month. The dealership also encouraged customers to match the individual donations.

“At Hudiburg, we believe it’s important to give back to the military men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom,” said Mike Myers, general manager of Hudiburg Chevrolet Buick GMC. “We asked the community to help us raise funds in July, and we’re very thankful that they stepped up to the challenge.”

Ally Financial matched the combined total of Hudiburg and the Oklahoma City community’s donations in the month of July for a total donation amount of $10,930.

“The Hudiburg team members are local heroes who are making a real difference in the Oklahoma City community, and we are grateful to be able to join them in supporting military families who selflessly sacrifice so much for our country,” said Mike Kimmel, regional vice president, Ally Financial. “We value our relationship with Hudiburg Chevy Buick GMC and are proud to support their ongoing community efforts.”
