Since the opening of the Skyline Chili location at the Dayton Mall 35 years ago, Dayton families have sought solace in the delicious offerings after a long day of strolling in the mall. In the years since, the opening of multiple locations around the Dayton area has solidified one idea: Daytonians love Skyline Chili. And for this adoration, they will be greatly rewarded.

On National Chili Day, every baby born at Dayton’s Southview Medical Center and Kettering Medical Center will be given a Skyline onesie for baby and a celebratory dinner for mom and dad.
