🖤💛 WILDCAT NATION — IT’S GAME TIME FOR GOOD! 💛🖤

The Inaugural Winnersville Challenge to Give United is officially underway, and we need Wildcat Nation to help us bring home the win — both on the field and in our community!

This friendly competition between Valdosta City Schools and Lowndes County Schools supports the Greater Valdosta United Way and the many programs that strengthen South Georgia families.

Here’s how YOU can make a difference:
📱 Text GOCATS to 44321 to donate on behalf of Valdosta City Schools
❤️ Every dollar stays local and helps fund critical resources for our neighbors in need.

The winning team will be announced at the Winnersville Classic on Friday, October 31, so let’s show everyone what it means to BelieVe in the V and Give United!

Together, we can make an impact that goes far beyond the scoreboard. Let’s do this, Wildcats! 🐾
