Ashworth College supports March of Dimes

NORCROSS, Georgia – April 8, 2009 – Ashworth College announced today that it will continue its community service endeavors through its supports of the March of Dimes. Throughout the month of April, Ashworth College administration and staff will accept monetary donations in the form of coins, cash and checks.

"A number of Ashworth students are working mothers balancing careers, family and education, so this is a particularly relevant cause," said Melissa Maddox, Business Services Manager. "This is reflected in several of our current initiatives, including Ashworth Moms Challenge and Project Working Mom…and Dads, Too!"

Among Ashworth College's most popular programs are its Early Childhood Education and Child Care Career Skills courses. Ashworth also offers a range of health care, technology, and business programs.

Throughout the year, Ashworth makes a concentrated effort to support worthwhile causes to include Dress for Success Atlanta, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), the American Cancer Society, the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and March of Dimes.
