Position your business as a community supporter
The Community Gems is a Dayton Daily News series dedicated to honoring the spirit & grit of people who make our community better!
The six-month series, starting in May, will highlight and recognize “People Who Make the Community Better.” It promotes unity and goodwill throughout the region with weekly features in the Dayton Daily News and DaytonDailyNews.com and will conclude in September.
Community Gems are nominated by the community to recognize individuals who make a difference with their time, talent and dedication.
Gems are named from every part of our community from the Good Samaritan, to the child who helps the elderly neighbor, to the dedicated volunteers whose work sustains our community organizations, to those who work tirelessly for a cause or share their creativity and make our community more vibrant.
Dayton Daily News reporters profile the Community Gems in the paper and on DaytonDailyNews.com
Beginning in May, Dayton Daily News will dedicate space every Sunday to the Community Gems, giving readers a closer look at the people making a difference in the community and inviting them to join in the celebration.
The stories reach over 202,000 readers every Sunday!
