Dothan, Ala (WDNews) – The Southeast Alabama Association of Realtors raised $12,507 for Children’s of Alabama through its Easter Basket Auction held March 19.
The check was presented Thursday to Carmen Maddox, regional manager of community development at Children’s of Alabama.
Officials said the fundraising effort was also connected to the Children’s of Alabama Radiothon, which took place during the first week of March on WKMX, 95.5 WTVY and 96.9 The Legend, all stations operated by Digio Strategies in Dothan.
Association President Donnie Wells was on hand for the presentation and said the cause is personal to him.
“My daughter a year ago was sick and was admitted to Children’s Hospital and she was taken great care of,” Wells said.
Wells said he hopes the community recognizes the association’s commitment to giving back and supporting the area where its members live and work.
“Realtors are about giving back, we appreciate the community that we live in and want to give back,” he added.
Children’s of Alabama, based in Birmingham, is one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the Southeast, providing specialized care for infants, children and teens across the region.
