“2019 has been a heartfelt and difficult year for the people of Dayton,” Nick Bowman, VP/Sales & Marketing and Managing Partner at Warped Wing, said in a news release. “That said, it’s amazing how people in our community come together to help friends and neighbors in need. It speaks to the level of character, care and giving that makes our city so great.”

Copy on the front of the can reads:
Through darkness comes light.
Through fear comes compassion.
Through tragedy comes triumph.
“The can embodies a minimalistic, purposefully under-designed look as not to overshadow what we are trying to do. This is about all the people in need. Our neighbors, many, who have lost everything,” Bowman said.
