DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – The Dothan Fire Department will wrap up its annual fundraising campaign for Childhood Cancer Awareness with a donation presentation on Wednesday, November 12, at 1 p.m. at Fire Station #1, located at 600 Columbia Highway.
Deputy Chief David Hasty said firefighters and community members once again showed their support through t-shirt sales, a 5K run, and a family fun day held at Westgate Park and Water World. “The community and our members really stepped up by purchasing shirts and participating in the 5K run along with the family day to raise the funds we have to donate,” Hasty said.
Fire Chief Larry Williams added, “Each year I am overwhelmed at the effort of our members and the community to raise funds and draw awareness to childhood cancer.”
Mrs. Carmen Maddox with Children’s Hospitals of Alabama will attend the event to receive the donation, joining Deputy Chief Hasty and Chief Williams for the presentation.
The department invites the public to attend and help celebrate another successful year of community fundraising and support for children battling cancer.
