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 Dayton937.com. Having put together the most comprehensive list of charity events in the region for the last 13 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, Old Scratch Pizza has Cones for a Cause Program that has raised over $30,000 dollars for area charity’s in the past year and Warped Wing Brewery, Dewey’s 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:
