DETROIT (WKZO) -- General Motors is donating 50-thousand dollars to Forgotten Harvest's "Help 4 Oklahoma" campaign.

General Motors Co. Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson on Thursday returned to his hometown of Mankato, Minn., to award two students at Mankato West High School with new college scholarships each worth $40,000.

Automakers, whose products were just as fragile as houses, schools and offices in the path of this week’s tornado, are pledging significant financial and vehicular aid to Moore, Okla.

So far, the Detroit Three, Honda, Volkswagen and Ally Financial have contributed more than $810,000 to relief efforts.
