UOG in the Community!

We are beyond excited to partner with Tiftarea YMCA and help create this beautiful Women’s Only Workout Area! Women’s empowerment and women’s health are our top priorities at The Howard Center and we are proud to be a part of this incredible opportunity!

Our Glammo Mammo Fairy made her public debut at Tift County High School along with our new cheesecake bar lay out on January 18th!

Our purse winner from that health fair was Ms. Tammy Carter and she was an absolute gem! Everyone was! We had a blast and the faculty and staff loved our Glamorous Fairy!

Our Tifton staff members sported their Teal ribbons and bracelets during the month of January to show their support for those fighting Cervical Cancer, honoring those who have lost their battle to Cervical Cancer and to celebrate those who have beaten Cervical Cancer!

We are soldiers and our goal is to Combat Cervical Cancer!

Every Friday, you guys, our Howard Center Tifton location will wear our new Glammo Mammo T-Shirts to support and promote our beautiful Glammo Mammo Suite!On the front, it reads, “Glammo Mammo” with our new Fairy branding and on the back, it says, “We put GLAMMO in your MAMMO!”
