In addition, WDTN’s Buckeye Blast will take place on Saturday, September 23^rd at Day Air Ballpark where a portion of the proceeds raised that evening would go to buying new coats and winter accessories.

“With this being our 40^th year we wanted to do something special for the Miami Valley for all they’ve done for so many throughout the years,” said Melissa Jones, Vice President and General Manager of WDTN & Dayton’s CW. “WDTN’s Buckeye Blast is the perfect event to have some fun while also raising money for this important community initiative.”
