Hello VIOC Friends & Family,
It has been nearly three years since our last in-person Cystic Fibrosis team walk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are very excited to get our group back together in a few weeks and walk for a cause that means so much to all of us!
Pictured on our team page are our team members, their families & friends that were able to participate in the last in-person Great Strides walk in 2019. As we all know, the last two years have brought new challenges to the world. And even though we were not able to join together for the yearly Great Strides walk, that did not deter us from our goal.
Valvoline Instant Oil Change is proud to partner with the Central Ohio Chapter (Greater Cincinnati) of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). Our VIOC team has raised over $162,000 in donations since 2015. Even while during a pandemic in 2020 & 2021, our team was able to raise just over $69,000!
We would like to say thank you in advance to the VIOC SCM's for their efforts to make the donations for this great cause possible. It is through their focus and dedication that so many of our customers make donations to help each year. We are also doing a personal donation drive amongst the leadership teams ahead of this year's Great Strides walk in May.
And as we do every year, we will be doing our annual pin up donation drive this fall at our local VIOC stores. We know our leadership teams will once again be focused on driving huge results for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. So please come visit one of our stores, get an oil change with great service and a smile, and donate to a worthwhile cause!
Our reason for choosing to partner with CFF was simple. Cystic Fibrosis does not draw as much national support the way many other causes do but finding a cure for CF is just as important. Everyone loves an underdog, and as Cincinnati Bengals fans, we love an underdog story! So, we are determined to help in finding a cure to Cystic Fibrosis in any way we can. And after two years of a worldwide pandemic that affects the respiratory system, finding a cure has become more important now than ever before.
Thank you all for your support!
Sincerely,
Michael Raines & Merrilee Fromm
