INDIANAPOLIS (May 27, 2026) – Lucas Oil, the world leader and distributor of high-performance automotive additives and lubricants, has been named a 2026 Community Impact Award Winner by Culture of Good in recognition of its meaningful commitment to serving others, strengthening communities, and using business as a force for good.
“Lucas Oil is honored to receive the Community Impact Award for a second consecutive year, which underscores our team’s commitment to giving back in an intentional way,” said Katie Lucas, President of Lucas Oil. “Philanthropy is central to the work we do at Lucas Oil, and it is deeply meaningful to everyone at our organization to be recognized as a leading voice and steward in this space. Each day, we challenge ourselves with a simple question: How can we best serve others?”
Katie Lucas, alongside CEO Morgan Lucas, leads Lucas Oil with a longstanding commitment to serving communities, both in Central Indiana where the company is headquartered, and beyond. In addition to this recognition, the pair was named “Outstanding Philanthropists of the Year” by the Association of Fundraising Professionals in November 2025.

- Celebrated the ribbon cutting of the Lucas Family Brain and Spine Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent, an Indiana hub for advanced brain and spine care.
- Hosted the 17th Lucas Oil Eric Medlen Memorial Golf Tournament, which has raised $2,300,000 to date for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital (PMCH) and Ascension St. Vincent.
- Expanded its longstanding partnership with the Indiana Fever as the company continues to champion women in the workplace, whether in the auto industry, the boardroom or on a basketball court.
- Strengthened its support for Wheeler Mission by co-presenting the 2025 Drumstick Dash and supporting the installation of a children’s shoe bank within Wheeler Mission’s Center for Women & Children.
- Launched the inaugural Lucas Oil Uncorked fundraiser, generating more than $200,000 for PMCH and Ascension St. Vincent.
- Sponsored the Marvella Mobile initiative, a community-focused mobile sports unit making its debut during WNBA All-Star 2025 in Indianapolis.
