Wildcats and United Way Join Teams to Inspire Kids
“ Inspiring kids to achieve greatness in the classroom and on the field”
The South Georgia Wildcats and United Way of Southwest Georgia have joined teams
again this year to form United Way’s Wildcats “Cats for Kids” program. “Cats for Kids” is an incentive-
based program to motivate kids to perform better in the classroom. This year’s games
will take place on March 28th, April 11th, April 25th, and May 9th at the Albany Civic Center.
Uniting, focusing and mobilizing the strengths of Southwest Georgia’s finest companies, nonprofit groups, faith-based organizations, government agencies and caring individuals is what United Way does best.
You see, United Way is uniquely how our community comes together to set an agenda for making our community safer and stronger. To invest resources. To build partnerships. To get real, measurable results.
