**New to 2025!! The school that donates the MOST WEIGHT OVERALL wins a $1,500 grand prize, sponsored by All American Roof Pros at the conclusion of the competition!!**
Goodwill Industries of Erie, Huron, Ottawa & Sandusky Counties’ Drive to Victory Competition is an exciting donation competition between two local schools that face each other on the football field that week. Throughout the week leading up to the big game, schools go head-to-head to see who can collect the most pounds of donations for Goodwill.
There will be a trailer parked at each school with attendants ready to collect donations and pack the trucks from 11AM to 7PM Monday through Thursday. Attendants will have donation receipts and will be able to answer any questions on items that are and are not accepted.
At the conclusion of the week, the donations are weighed, and the school that collects the most pounds earns a $500 scholarship for their school, which is presented and announced at that week’s football game, while the runner-up receives a $250 scholarship.
Drive to Victory blends the spirit of competition with community service. The sale from the donations in our stores helps fund our programs & services!
