    HOUSTON (Nov. 12, 2015) — In commemoration of Veterans Day, SOPUS Products Inc.'s Pennzoil brand donated $75,000 to Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) to support U.S. military veterans with disabilities.

    The funds were raised during a September oil change promotion at participating Jiffy Lube locations across the U.S. For each consumer who purchased either Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full-synthetic motor oils, Pennzoil pledged to donate $10 to the organization for a maximum donation of $75,000.

    “One of our greatest accomplishments at Pennzoil has been our three-year relationship with Paralyzed Veterans of America,” said Doug Kooyman, Pennzoil global brand manager.

    “Through this organization, we've had the unique opportunity to directly impact helping disabled veterans regain some of their freedoms, self-expression and independence. This next-level support to our disabled veterans is an important cause to both Pennzoil and Jiffy Lube.”

    Pennzoil said its continued relationship with PVA has enabled the organization to advocate on behalf of veterans with disabilities to “ensure they receive quality health care and the necessary benefits and tools to secure good careers.”

    The organization also works to make America more accessible for disabled veterans and provide them with opportunities to participate in rehabilitative sports and recreational activities.

    “We are grateful for generous supporters such as Pennzoil and Jiffy Lube that provide our organization the resources to empower our members to move, heal and reintegrate into life,” said Al Kovach Jr., PVA national president. “These long-standing relationships allow us year-after-year to provide services to veterans and their families free of charge.”

    Earlier in 2015, Pennzoil made a surprise donation of $22,222 to PVA in celebration of NASCAR driver Joey Logano's Daytona 500 victory on Feb. 22 in the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion.
