20 Events That Give Back This November
Dayton long ago earned a reputation for being a city that gives back. According to the history of the Dayton Foundation, NCR founder and Chairman John H. Patterson championed innovative projects for the betterment of the community. Joining him in his enthusiasm was his sister-in-law, Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell, and nephew, Robert Patterson, son of John Patterson’s brother, Capt. Robert Patterson, all active community leaders in their own right. A leading businesswoman, Julia Patterson Carnell helped establish the Dayton Art Institute by donating works of art, a mansion that served as the museum’s first home and $2 million towards the construction in 1930 of its current facility.
Today there are over 4000 nonprofits in the region, and to continue the legacy of taking care of our community, there are hundreds of fundraising events to support them.
Here are MostMetro’s list of the top 20 November events we think you should be aware of:
5 Fabulous Fundraisers in February
The fact that Dayton was recognized on the Travelocity list of 25 Most Giving Cities in the U.S. is no surprise to us at MostMetro.com. Having put together the most comprehensive list of charity events in the region for the last 10 years, we’ve seen how many people are willing to give back and help others in this community. We’ve got a list of area fish fry’s that make a difference to so many and each week, Fifth Street Brewpub allows different non-profits to guest bartend each Monday to raise funds and Old Scratch Pizza has Cones for a Cause Program that has raised over $20,000 dollars for area charity’s in the past year and Warped Wing Brewery and Milano’s are just a couple of the local businesses that have established fundraising programs.
It’s hard to choose which events to support each month, but here are suggestions for February Fundraisers:
