Valvoline Instant Oil Change Locations Raise Funds for the Fight Against Cancer
September 30 2022 - 1:00PM
Throughout the month of October, select Valvoline Instant Oil
Change℠ (VIOC) locations will offer customers an opportunity
to round up their change to support the American Cancer Society
(ACS) and its Road To Recovery program, helping patients get to
their potentially life-saving cancer treatment.
Using the theme “#DONTPUTITOFF!” for the entire month of October
Valvoline Instant Oil Change℠ (VIOC) is reminding people that, just
like maintaining fluids in their vehicle prevents major repairs,
getting recommended cancer screenings does the same for the body.
Screening can detect certain changes before cancer develops, or can
catch some cancers early, when they may be easier to treat.
According to annual statistics reported by the American Cancer
Society, there has been a 32% decline in the cancer death rate for
men and women since 1991. One contributing factor to the success of
this decline is prevention and/or early detection through screening
for some cancers, including breast, cervix, colon, prostate,
rectum, and lung. The risk of death from cancer dropped by about 2%
in recent years compared to 1% a year during the 1990s.
Accelerating declines in the cancer death rate show the power of
prevention, screening, early diagnosis, treatment, and the overall
potential to move closer to a world without cancer.
Through the month of October, VIOC customers will be asked to
make donations by rounding-up their invoice at participating VIOC
locations in CA, DE, FL, MD, and VA to raise much needed dollars
for ACS. A complete list can be found on ValvolineFightsCancer.com.
Through different fundraising efforts and events, VIOC has been
able to raise over $383,300 for the American Cancer Society since
2017.
“We are excited at the opportunity to once again partner with
the American Cancer Society. They are a wonderful organization on
the front lines of fighting cancer, both locally and nationally,”
says William Smelley, Vice President of Marketing for the VIOC
franchisee.
“Regular screenings increase the chances of finding cancer in
its earliest stages, and in some cases, even preventing it. Thanks
to VIOC’s ongoing generosity and support, more lives will be
saved,” said Lisa Dulyea, Director, Corporate Relations for the
American Cancer Society.
