DETROIT — Along with an industry honor based on the amount of
finance contracts and leases outstanding each year, Ally Financial announced
that it's following the lead of some of its Oklahoma City dealer customers,
making a $10,000 donation to the American Red Cross in support of its Oklahoma
tornado disaster relief efforts.

Officials highlighted
three dealers in the area — Knipplemeir Chevrolet, Patriot Ford and Kelsey
Buick GMC — banded together to make a donation to the charity and asked other
dealers to join their effort. 

Ally said it made the donation to help Oklahoma recover and
to support the call to action issued by its dealer customers.

"We support Oklahoma in its effort to rebuild and are proud
to work with such a caring group of dealers in the region," said Mike Kimmel,
Ally's regional vice president, whose area includes Oklahoma.

"These dealers are local heroes who work tirelessly in their
community throughout the year and step up their efforts even more when their
community is in need," Kimmel continued.

Additionally, Ally said it will match contributions made by
its employees nationwide to eligible nonprofit organizations helping with
relief efforts.
