“At Interstate, we're in the business of helping people put their lives back together after natural and man-made disasters, so it makes sense that we would want to help veterans to reestablish their lives as well,” Harley Jeanise, Interstate's regional director for Texas, said in a statement.

A skeet-shooting competition sponsored by Fort Worth-based Interstate Restoration raised $60,000 for the North Texas Veterans Initiative. The North Texas Veterans Initiative (NTVI) focuses on providing aid to former military members whose circumstances have caused them to become homeless.
The 17-team event in Dallas, called the Interstate S.H.O.W., featured a full afternoon and evening's worth of competitive events, food and ceremonies, all designed to benefit local military veterans.
S.H.O.W. stands for “Shoot Honoring our Warriors,” and Interstate plans to make it an annual event.
“Our work depends upon the support of organizations like Interstate Restoration and all the sponsors of this event who have contributed so much,” Brian Taylor of NTVI said in a statement. “We are very grateful for their involvement.”

Event organizers handed out trophies and awards to the following team winners:
- A Mighty Fine Car Wash — first place
