HOMETOWN HEROES™
The Big Hoopla is a proud supporter of the Hometown Heroes™ program.
Founded in 2012, The Big Hoopla has supported the Dayton area military community by donating over 137,500 tickets to Airmen/Guardians/civilians and their families at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Veterans, and local students since inception. “These efforts branch out to foster sustainable and continued economic growth in our region,” says Terry Slaybaugh, Volunteer Chair of The Big Hoopla. “A natural partnership between The Big Hoopla and Hometown Heroes™ preserves the commitment our area volunteers and businesses have towards our own hometown military families.”
The Dayton Development Coalition’s Hometown Heroes™ program honors our community’s servicemen and women affiliated with Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the Air National Guard base in Springfield. The program began in 2003 and has grown with the generosity of local businesses to support thousands of military families in the region.
