Take 5 Oil Change raises over $1.2 million for children's hospitals

Take 5 Oil Change, home of the stay-in-your-car, 10-minute oil change, has raised $1,226,770 for 60 local children's hospitals in the markets it serves. All donations help cover the cost of patient treatment and aid the efforts to find groundbreaking cures for chronic illnesses. Take 5 is thrilled to see its contributions benefit the commendable work of the leaders on the front lines of pediatric care, the company said in a release.

"I am very proud of the team's passion to give back to the community," said Danny Rivera, group president and executive vice president of Driven Brands, the parent company of Take 5. "These hospitals are a cornerstone for so many across the country, including family members of us here at Take 5. We're honored to be able to take part in those efforts."

The local hospital fundraiser officially closed on Sept. 25. Take 5 sincerely thanks its customers for their support and donations to the hospitals. Those who donated three dollars or more will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win one of 1,800 free oil changes.
