Donut lovers get ready! 🍩 Dayton Donut Festival On Tour presented by Planned2Give is kicking off Friday, Feb. 10.

The festival is a self-guided donut tour and costs $30 per booklet. Each booklet includes coupons to 12 donut shops in the Dayton area. The coupons are valid for two donuts, said Jeff Jackson, co-founder of Planned2Give.

“The donut shops are excited about it,” Jackson said. “It’s been a success the past three years.”

Planned2Give is a nonprofit organization that helps and supports other nonprofits with fundraising events and awareness. Proceeds from Dayton Donut Festival On Tour will benefit Hannah’s Treasure Chest, which works to enrich the lives of children in need.

Participants will have until Monday, Feb. 20 to stop by all 12 donut shops.

Donut shops participating include:

  • Ashley’s Pastry Shop - 21 Park Ave. in Oakwood
  • Bear Creek Donuts - 80 S. Main St. in Miamisburg
