Dothan Community Rallies For Animal Services Officer Battling Cancer

Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — A local fundraiser is set to bring the community together in support of a longtime City of Dothan employee facing a serious health battle.

A hamburger fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, May 22, 2026, to benefit Senior Animal Services Officer Renee Skipper. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the southside parking lot of the Dothan Police Department.

According to event organizers, Skipper has served the City of Dothan since 1997. She is now facing multiple cancer diagnoses, prompting coworkers and community members to step in and offer support during what is described as a difficult time.

For $10, attendees can purchase a meal that includes a hamburger, chips, and a drink. Organizers say all proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to Skipper to help cover medical expenses.

The event is open to the public, and community members are encouraged to attend and show their support.
