Valvoline Inc. has committed to investing $750,000 over three years to provide psychosocial support services for Ronald McDonald House families in their key markets, with select Valvoline Instant Oil Change markets participating in a customer point-of-sale fundraising campaign May 1-31, 2026.

Valvoline Inc. (NYSE:VVV), the quick, easy, trusted leader in preventive automotive maintenance, today announced it is becoming the first Ronald McDonald House Global corporate partner dedicated solely to funding mental health initiatives. Representing a $750,000 total commitment over three years, the partnership reflects a shared dedication to strengthening families and improving health outcomes in communities across the United States.

In year one, Valvoline Inc. is providing $25,000 each to 10 chapters, representing a total investment of $250,000 to support psychosocial programming across select Ronald McDonald House Chapters. These funds will help expand services that directly support families navigating medical challenges. Across the 10 participating Chapters, funds will support a range of psychological and behavioral‑health services from age‑appropriate emotional support and sibling programming to crisis‑intervention training, caregiver support, structured counseling, and trauma‑informed care. Participating Chapters include: Minneapolis (Upper Midwest), Central New York, Spokane (Inland Northwest), Kansas City, Cincinnati, Memphis, Lexington (Bluegrass), St. Louis, Boise, and Nashville.

"We are proud to become the first corporate partner of Ronald McDonald House Global focused on funding mental health initiatives," said Valvoline Inc. President and CEO Lori Flees. "When a child is facing medical treatment, the whole family feels it, and mental health support can be just as essential as physical care. Through this partnership, we're helping expand services that strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and support families when they need it most."

To help kick-off the partnership, from May 1-31, Valvoline Instant Oil Change service center teams in select markets will engage customers through a point-of-sale fundraising campaign. The campaign will run across more than 150 retail locations, across the Southeast and Midwest, including Alabama; Greater Chattanooga; Kentuckiana (Louisville); Knoxville; Nashville; the Bluegrass (Lexington); Memphis; St. Louis; Central Illinois (Springfield & Peoria); Mid Missouri (Columbia); and the Ohio Valley (Evansville).Throughout the partnership, Valvoline Instant Oil Change employees will have opportunities to volunteer with their local Ronald McDonald House Chapter year‑round, underscoring the company's ongoing commitment to giving back and making a meaningful impact across their shared communities.

"Ronald McDonald House families are often juggling a complex healthcare system, financial strain and the mental toll of having a child who is ill," said Lauren Biedron, Chief Philanthropy Officer, Ronald McDonald House Global. "We're incredibly grateful for Valvoline Inc.'s commitment to enabling psychosocial support services at select Chapters in the U.S., ensuring families receive holistic, wrap-around support during times of uncertainty."

This initiative is part of Valvoline Inc.'s Happy to Help community impact work, which focuses on supporting children's health and their mental well-being. Through both financial contributions and hands-on volunteerism, the company continues to invest in strengthening the communities it serves.
