Any event or promotion that involves the name of The Children's Medical Center of Dayton must be approved in advance by the development office at Children's at least one month prior to the event.
A "Third Party Event Registration Form" must be completed and submitted to the development office of Dayton Children's before such approval can be granted. A form can be emailed or mailed to you or obtained on the Dayton Children’s website under the resources link. Mail completed forms to: Dayton Children's, One Children's Plaza, Dayton, OH 45404-1815.
Dayton Children's encourages the use of press releases and other publicity. Before sending a press release, media alert, advertisement or other form of publicity to any media outlet, please submit all copy/design to the development office for review and approval.
