Valvoline Instant Oil Change Reaches One Million Dollar Fundraising Milestone for the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery® Program

via Business Wire

Customers and team members united to drive hope for cancer patients across the country.

Henley Enterprises, the largest Valvoline Instant Oil Change (VIOC) franchisee, is proud to announce that its nationwide fundraising campaign has reached an incredible milestone—raising $1 million in support of the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery® program, which provides people with cancer free rides to medical appointments and treatment.

Throughout October, Henley-operated Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations across the country joined together for the Drive-Thru Donation Weekend, encouraging customers and employees to help ensure that reliable transportation is available, so care is not delayed. The continued generosity of Henley VIOC customers and team members turned 15 years of partnership with the American Cancer Society into a record-breaking achievement.

“Reaching the one million dollar mark demonstrates the strength of community support,” said Kristyn Grime, Executive Director, Orange County for the American Cancer Society. “Henley Enterprises, through its Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations, is helping remove major barriers for people with cancer, allowing them to focus on their treatment and recovery.”

Lack of transportation can be one of the greatest barriers to receiving timely treatment and quality cancer care. Millions of Americans delay or have difficulty getting needed medical care each year due to the lack of available and affordable transportation to treatment. The American Cancer Society’s Road To Recovery® program connects volunteer drivers with those in need to ensure cancer patients can reach their appointments safely and on time. While the program is provided at no cost to people facing cancer, funding is essential to support technology and program management. Support from partners like Valvoline Instant Oil Change helps thousands of people each year have one less worry during their cancer care.

“Supporting the communities we serve is at the core of who we are,” said Todd Nelson, President and COO of Henley Enterprises, the largest Valvoline Instant Oil Change franchisee. “We’re incredibly proud of our customers and team members for helping us make a meaningful impact for cancer patients and their families.”
