1. Dear Principal:
Football season is upon us once again and the Star64/WKRC/CW team will be producing our live high school football program, Saturday High School Rivals for a third season! Good news, we will be featuring a team in your region! As you might know, Newport Central Catholic will be competing at Conner on September 24, at 7 pm and we will be airing it on STAR64. We are excited for this upcoming football season and although we hope that you will join us to watch these two great teams compete, we have another way for you to support your school and your community!
As part of the program, we are partnering with Goodwill to conduct the Goodwill Donation Challenge between the two competing high schools each week. The students, faculty and community will be competing at each respective high school to donate the most items. Donations will begin the Monday before each game and will accumulate through the week until the final weigh in on Friday. The goal is to leave a Goodwill Semi parked at each school the Monday before their televised Football game and encourage both the schools and the communities to donate including students, parents, and teachers.  Although we expect to have a semi-truck at each school there may also be alternative ways of donating at the school site in form of bins inside the school or other smaller Goodwill vehicles. At the end of the week we will weigh the amount of donations to determine which school donated the most items and reward them with a prize!
The concept of the series is to turn a regular season high school football game into a community-wide event and we invite everyone to join us for Saturday High School Rivals and the Goodwill Donation Challenge. Make sure to get out to Cooper or Conner today to help contribute to a great cause!
Additional Details of Goodwill High School Challenge
We will be providing a video from Joe Walter (former Bengals player) to get your school pumped up about the challenge. We encourage the video to be played to the entire school during morning announcements, at a pep rally a week in advance of your scheduled Saturday High School Rivals TV game, on your school Social Media pages, and/or in your weekly newsletter.
