The Dayton Daily News, WHIO-TV and Radio, and K99.1FM are part of Cox Media Group Ohio.
Led by chair Patti Schear of Oakwood, a committee of nine volunteers has raised funds for the campaign for nearly three years. The fundraising goal for the project was to raise $5.3 million on a total cost of $8.5 million. The campaign will conclude in June with the opening of the completed trauma and emergency center.
The Soin Pediatric Trauma and Emergency Center is named for the lead donors to the project, Raj and Indu Soin, who announced their donation in September 2009 when the renovation began. Other major donors to the project include the TWIGS Auxiliary, Linda Black-Kurek and James Kurek, Dr. and Mrs. G. Frank Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Mason Jones, and Lee and Patti Schear. A total of 130 donors have contributed to the project to date.
