Oklahoma City Car Show benefits storm recovery efforts

A car show at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds will benefit Oklahoma storm victims.

Elite Auto Affairs will introduce domestic and imported supercars and luxury vehicles starting Saturday, December 14th.

The Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch traveled to Elite Auto Affairs to learn more about how the show benefits Oklahomans.

Chad Detwiler, president and CEO of Recovering Oklahomans After Disaster, said the show will help his organization rebuild Oklahoma communities damaged by severe storms.

“We work with a variety of different agencies, from case management to agencies that fund construction materials, and then our organization provides the labor,” Detwiler said. “So we have professional contractors supervising project managers. We host volunteer teams from all over the country, and then we have a workforce training program to teach construction workers while helping these families at no cost to them.”

Detwiler said the goal is to give families hope as they rebuild their homes.

“In Oklahoma, we often respond to a new disaster while recovering from a past disaster,” Detwiller said. “So it’s just a constant rotation of families, projects and support that we provide for the months and years to come.”
