Brighton Groups Organize Efforts to Help Tornado Victims

Several local groups have local fundraising efforts planned to help support victims of the Oklahoma tornado.

After news traveled of a devastating tornado that ripped through a suburb of Oklahoma City on Monday killing at least 24 people - including several children - people across the nation are looking for ways to send help and support to the victims.

In Brighton, local groups are already organizing efforts to send to the town of Moore, Okla., including a car wash and Zumba fundraiser.

As search-and-rescue crews continue to dig through the rubble, many people are wondering what they can do to help those affected by the disaster.
