For today’s high school student-athletes, whether it’s going to camps and showcases, going to unofficial and official visits, or going to study for and take admissions tests, preparing for the next level requires more effort – and funding – than ever. So we at Valdosta Toyota are partnering with our local high school athletic programs to help these student-athletes get to the places they are trying to go. We have dedicated the necessary funding to assist these student-athletes, their coaches, and their families pay for expenses like travel, food, fees, and more.
With more than ever being demanded of these young men and women, the Valdosta Toyota Going Places Program is supplying the means to pursue their aspirations, whatever they may be, and wherever they may go.
At Valdosta Toyota, we believe in being embedded and invested in our surrounding community. We diligently search for opportunities to give back to the people, businesses, and causes that are near and dear to our – and our customers’ – hearts. One area in particular that we make a concerted effort to be present and supportive within is high school athletics. In Lowndes County and South Georgia at large, high school athletics are a key component of our culture. These sports are not merely extracurricular activities; they are vehicles for character development and opportunity generation. For the driven student-athlete, their sport could be their ticket to college. In college, they can continue their education and personal growth, all culminating in being better prepared for life after of sports, whenever that day comes.
So we at Valdosta Toyota believe that an investment into high school athletics is truly just investment into high school student-athletes. With the hundreds of thousands of dollars that we have donated to our local schools and athletic programs over the years, we believe that we aren’t supporting games… we are supporting growth. We fund with these programs as a way of partnering in the development of young boys and girls into mature men and women that pursue excellence in the classroom, in the home, in the game, and in the community. And we continue to double down on that being money well spent.
