This year, Yorktown’s opening football game—scheduled for August 29, 2025—is about more than just the scoreboard. The Wildcats are joining forces with Karnes City in the statewide Peanut Butter Bowl®, a unique initiative where high school teams compete not only on the field, but in service to their communities.
The Peanut Butter Bowl® is a hunger relief campaign that invites schools to collect jars of peanut butter—one of the most requested items at food pantries—to support families in need. Every jar donated, whether in person or online, helps stock shelves at local organizations chosen by each school’s coaching staff.
Yorktown Secondary Campus will host a drop-off location in its front office, where students, families, and community members can bring jars of peanut butter throughout the week. For those who prefer to give online, donations can be made at PeanutButterBowl.com, where every $2 equals one jar.
The Wildcats are also competing for the Champions Cup, awarded to the school that collects the highest total of peanut butter—combining both physical and online donations. But the effort goes beyond football. Feeder schools, band, cheer, dance, and student organizations are all invited to participate, building campus-wide unity around a shared cause.
“This is a chance for Yorktown to show what Wildcats are made of,” said organizers. “We don’t just play hard—we give big.”
The goal is simple: unity, pride, and service. Every jar makes a difference, and together, Yorktown is proving that when it comes to fighting hunger, #WeAllWin.
