Carl's Coats for Kids Campaign Kickoff

DAYTON, Ohio - Former Chief Meteorologist Carl Nichols will continue to lead WDTN’s Coats for Kids campaign by kicking off its 28th year on Friday, September 30th. Project corporate partners are Huntington Bank, Jeff Schmitt Auto Group, Handyman Ace Hardware, Cintas Corporation and Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley. For the past twenty-seven years, this project has provided hundreds of thousands of warm coats for needy children throughout the Miami Valley.

“Not a single child should go this winter without a coat to keep them warm,” said Lisa Barhorst, WDTN-TV Vice President & General Manager. “We’re passionate about our community and will continue to help the residents of the Miami Valley. It’s just another reason why we’re committed to being On Your Side.”

The campaign, scheduled to run from September 30th through October 28th, will again ask residents of the Miami Valley to take any washable coat their children may have outgrown to any location of our corporate sponsors (locations attached) and place them in a Coats for Kids collection container. The Cintas Corporation will then launder the coats at no charge and give them to Goodwill, who in turn, will distribute the coats to those individuals and families truly in need of assistance.

In 2010, Miami Valley residents donated more than 4300 coats. Since the launch of the campaign, over 470,000 coats have been collected.
