West Carrollton High School beat Miamisburg High School and earned a $200 scholarship in last week’s Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory competition. 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.
West Carrollton High School collected 10,380 pounds of donations and Beavercreek High School collected 940 pounds of donations. These items will be sold in Goodwill Stores, with proceeds supporting the mission of helping people with disabilities and other needs here in the community.
Since 2007, the Goodwill Stores Drive to Victory campaign has generated over 400,000 pounds of clothing and household items along with 41 vehicles from around the Miami Valley.
In this week’s competition, Valley View High School is battling Oakwood High School in the Drive to Victory. Trailers are parked at each high school and will be picked up and weighed on Friday, Sept. 16. The school that has collected the most weight in donations will be announced on Friday night during WHIO-TV’s Touchdown 7 and will receive a $200 scholarship from Mid-USA 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.
