NORCROSS, GA. - It was all fun and games when Ashworth College staff members put in overtime during the fourth quarter of 2018 by participating in ZogSports Atlanta’s Co-Ed Flag Football season. The recreational league met for its championship game on Dec. 18, 2018, and the Knights defeated local engineering firm Newcomb & Boyd. To celebrate the win, ZogSports Atlanta made a donation on behalf of Ashworth College to PurpleStride, part of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN).
ZogSports began coordinating social sports leagues throughout the U.S. in 2002 with a mission to combine recreational athletics, community, and charity. Rather than awarding trophies to end-of-season champions, ZogSports donates 10% of net proceeds and 100% of the game season’s Happy Hour contributions to the winning team’s charity of choice. The Knights selected PanCAN to honor Gary Keisling, long-time Ashworth College President and CEO who succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 2012. Keisling, who dedicated his career to improving educational opportunities for underserved populations, spent more than two decades as an executive in distance education. Ashworth College also honors its former leader with the Gary Keisling Ashworth College Continuing Education for Student Success Scholarship (ACCESS) Program. ACCESS awards are presented to deserving students enrolled at any of its online schools
