During the month of October, some Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations are raising funds for American Cancer Society's Road To Recovery program, according to a press release.
Participating VIOC locations in California, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, and Virginia are allowing customers the chance to donate at the time of their oil change service. The Road To Recovery program gives free rides to cancer patients to their treatment appointments. Not having access to reliable transportation is a big factor in patients missing these important appointments.
Since 2017, VIOC has raised over $493,000 for American Cancer Society, including access to over 9,800 rides for patients.
“We are excited for the opportunity to once again partner with the American Cancer Society. They are a powerful organization on the front lines of fighting cancer, both locally and nationally,” said William Smelley, Vice President of Marketing for the VIOC franchisee.
