Multiple Organizations Helping Veterans Benefit From PatriotFest Funds

Thursday, organizers of the Route 66 PatriotFest Car Show and Cruise handed out the money it raised for deserving military groups in Tulsa.

Last year, PatriotFest donations went to Folds of Honor only, but this year's event was such a success that five other military service organizations also received money.
