Drive to Victory is a friendly competition each week between two local high schools that battle off the field in a donation drive benefiting Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley.
Since 2007, the Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory campaign has generated over 360,000 pounds of clothing and household items along with 41 vehicles from around the Miami Valley. When these items are sold in our stores and auto auction the revenue helps support our mission of helping people with disabilities and other needs right here in our community.
Learn more about Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley programs and services that are supported by your donations by visiting www.gesmv.org.
Here’s how you can help your school win:
* Each week a Goodwill Store donation trailer will be placed at each of our selected schools beginning Monday prior to that week’s game on Friday.
* During the week, Goodwill attendants will accept your donations of clothing, household items and computers that you dropped off at your school’s donation trailer.
* Receipts for your tax deductible donation will be available.
Drive to Victory Tip: Computers and book donations are a great way to add weight to your schools total.
You can also help your school weight total by donating your old vehicle during the Drive to Victory contest. Just call 228-AUTO to donate or find out more details on how donation will add 1,000 pounds to your school.
On Friday, the trailers will be picked up and weighed. The school that has collected the most weight will be announced on Friday night during Touchdown 7 and will receive a $200 scholarship from MidUSA Community Credit Union.
At the conclusion of the season the school that has collected the most weight during their Drive the Victory week will receive an additional $700 scholarship.
