The money will be used to help hospitalized children and their families in Dayton.
“We wanted this to not only be a fun event, but an event that would have meaning to a charity in our local community,” said Randy Tischer, Green Velvet Sod Farms owner. “Several of our Green Velvet Team members knew of families and friends who spoke highly of the incredible services that the Ronald McDonald House Charities here in Dayton provided to them throughout their time of need. That was all it took to get everyone here at Green Velvet excited about the prospect of making our 60th Anniversary Celebration more than just about Green Velvet.”
