Through its HERE for Healthy Schools initiative, Lysol delivers grants and product donations that bolster classrooms while creating valuable student opportunities

Lysol introduces the HERE for Healthy Schools: Quality Time Off (QTO) Grant alongside National PTA to supply product donations and financial support to five PTAs serving high-need elementary schools.
Kelly Rowland, Grammy Award-winning singer, actress, producer, mother and PTA advocate, collaborates with Lysol to inform parents about controlling illness-causing germs and highlight the role of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes in back-to-school readiness.
With every pack of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes bought, the brand contributes one to a classroom in need** via Kids In Need Foundation, safeguarding up to 60 million students against illness-causing germs* on surfaces.

Meaningful school events such as read-a-thons and field trips build lasting memories for children while deepening bonds among students, parents and caregivers. Families frequently skip these occasions because of sudden illnesses that force them to save personal time off (PTO) for sick days. In fact, 78% of parents who skipped a key school-day activity had already exhausted their PTO after caring for a sick child at home.

To support families in attending the experiences they value most, Lysol, part of the Reckitt family of consumer brands, introduces the HERE for Healthy Schools: Quality Time Off (QTO) Grant together with National PTA, the country's oldest and largest child advocacy group. Building on Lysol's HERE for Healthy Schools program started in 2019, the grant strengthens efforts to limit the spread of illness-causing germs* across classrooms nationwide.

Lysol works with Grammy Award-winning singer, actress, producer, mother and PTA advocate Kelly Rowland to explain why Lysol Disinfecting Wipes belong on back-to-school lists since they eliminate 99.9% of illness-causing germs* on surfaces. When parents redirect their time off toward creating memories instead of handling sickness, PTO transforms into Quality Time Off, or QTO.

"As a parent, I understand how valuable it is to attend the events that brighten the school year, whether watching my sons shine in a school performance or offering support when they need it," said Kelly Rowland. "I am honored to team with Lysol because fewer surprise sick days lead to more quality time with my family."

From July 13 to July 24, 2026, PTAs at high-need elementary schools for grades K-6 may submit applications for the QTO Grant via National PTA's website. Five schools will be chosen to receive targeted funding for in-school family activities plus in-kind product donations such as Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol Disinfectant Spray through Kids In Need Foundation.

With 75% of parents actively cleaning and disinfecting surfaces to curb illness-causing germs, students gain more time for learning, building connections and joining important school events. For every pack of Lysol Disinfecting Wipes purchased from July 1 through August 31, the brand donates one to a classroom in need** through Kids In Need Foundation. This effort helps shield up to 60 million students from illness-causing germs* on surfaces in high-need schools.

"Back-to-school season brings opportunities that define a child's year," said Mike Hartman, Vice President, Lysol. "When illness pulls students home without warning, families lose chances to create key memories. The QTO Grant and our Buy One, Give One program help students stay engaged in meaningful learning."
