The funds are used for academic scholarships given to the family members. This year, a total of $204,044 was raised, coming from customers, employees, and communities around the country that decided to contribute to the fundraiser at their local Take 5 location. 

Donations for the fundraiser were accepted from May 21 through June 9. The total raised this year succeeded in surpassing the fundraiser’s inaugural run last year, which raised a total of $201,500. 

This coming July, the brand will also be launching its annual Children's Hospital fundraiser, which last year raised over $1.1 million for children's hospitals nationwide.

“As a brand deeply rooted in service, Take 5 Oil Change recognizes the significance of supporting our Nation's heroes and their families,” stated Mo Khalid, EVP and President of Take 5 Oil Change. “Our successful Folds of Honor fundraiser and upcoming Children's Hospital fundraiser showcase our unwavering dedication to making a lasting impact in the lives of those in need.”
