More about the “Gem City Give Back” 
It is more than a motto; it's a yearly outreach of SouthBrook, also known as City Lights. City Lights is a source of love and positivity in Dayton's diverse community. We strive to “light up” our communities with acts of love, both big and small, echoing the brilliance of light reflecting off a gem. Our goal is for every SouthBrooker to see themselves as a source of light, spreading love, peace, hope, and connection, just like Jesus.
