“It’s been a cold and snowy winter,” David Obenour, event promoter said. “The Beach Party is all about pulling out the Hawaiian shirt from the closet, getting together with friends and forgetting that it’s maybe single-digits outside.”

BEACH PARTY FOR A CAUSE
The Beach Party also serves as a clothing drive for Dayton's local refugee community.

Working with Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley and Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley, attendees are encouraged to bring donations of clothing (winter or summer) to the party, which Goodwill will turn into vouchers for winter clothing for families relocated to Dayton.
“Ohio winters, particularly this one, can be brutal even if you’ve lived here your whole life,” Obenour said. “Many of those relocated here to Dayton have never even seen snow, so getting them appropriate clothing is crucial.”
