Change Kids’ Health with Valvoline this November!

From November 1-31 this year, Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations across the country will be fundraising for their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. When you give at your local Valvoline, the funds will help meet the most urgent needs right here at Cincinnati Children’s!

This campaign marks the 15th year that Valvoline Instant Oil Change has been fundraising for their local member hospitals, and they have raised over $5 Million. In that time, they have raised $176,515.99 for Cincinnati Children’s alone.

When you visit Valvoline this November, you can create change for kids like JP, who could barely move, constantly slept and wasn’t eating regularly when he was born. At nine months old, doctors began to fear JP would never be able to walk and continued to search for answers. Just before his second birthday, JP underwent genetic testing and was diagnosed with Potocki-Lupski Syndrome (PTLS), a very rare health condition caused by a duplication of a gene in chromosome 17. PTLS caused many of the complications that JP was experiencing, including his developmental delays, feeding and speech difficulties, low muscle tone, among several other conditions caused by the syndrome. Throughout his childhood, JP continued to receive care from many specialists, as JP’s family was determined to do everything they could to help him continue to grow stronger. Thanks to early intervention, JP can now walk, run, and dance with his seven siblings and continues to surpass all expectations. JP’s smile and laughter brings joy to everyone he meets. He is an avid sports fan and loves watching hockey, baseball, and soccer. JP is an athlete himself and is one of the top swimmers for the Special Olympics Central Florida team!

Give at your local Valvoline Instant Oil Change this November, because creating a healthy future for kids is as easy as donating at Valvoline.
