The holidays are better when they’re shared, and the Wish Tree is one of our favorite ways to share them. Every year, our audiences, staff and friends come together to make the season a little lighter for families right here in our community.
This year, The Human Race Theatre Company is once again teaming up with YWCA Dayton and Blue Star Families to connect generous neighbors with local families who could use some extra holiday cheer.
How it works
- Fill out the Wish Tree form. Tell us how many children you’d like to adopt for the holidays, the age range you’re comfortable shopping for, and whether you have a gender preference.
- Prefer a gift card? No problem. You can give a gift card instead of shopping for gifts. Just tell us which kind on the form.
- Get your match. We’ll pair you with a family based on the preferences you share.
- Shop and drop off. Bring your gifts unwrapped to The Human Race Theatre Company by Sunday, December 20.
Gift drop-off details
Deadline: Sunday, December 20, 2026
Where: The Human Race Theatre Company, 126 N Main Street, Suite 300, Dayton, OH 45402
When: Between 10 AM and 4 PM
Please leave gifts unwrapped so our partners can make sure everything gets to the right family in time for the holidays. Gift cards are always welcome.
Thank you!
Your kindness is what makes this tradition work. Whether you adopt one child or several, or simply drop off a gift card, you’re helping a local family feel seen and celebrated this season. We can’t thank you enough for being part of it.
