The Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley Drive to Victory: Marching Band Edition is a community donation challenge. This year Valley View faces Waynesville. The band with the highest weight in donations wins a $400 scholarship.

The band earns a 1,000-pound bonus for each vehicle donation, so if you've got a boat, trailer, motorcycle, or car that you'd like to unload, this is a good cause.

At the end of 10 weeks, the band with the highest overall donation weight is crowned the season Drive to Victory Champion and receives an additional $1,000 scholarship.

Prize winnings are generously provided by GESMV partners at Arby’s Corporation and are paid out after the final week of competition.

Acceptable donations include:

Clothing, shoes, and boots
Jewelry
Medical Equipment (no motorized or patient-specific equipment)
Books, records, compact disks, video tapes, and DVDs
