Happy Valentine's Day!
Radiologic technologists know it’s what is inside that counts. Happy Valentine’s Day from your professional association.
Honor American Society of Radiologic Technologists's first 100 years and help shape its next 100 by participating in the ASRT Foundation’s 100 for 100 centennial campaign.
The Foundation has set an ambitious Centennial fundraising goal of $100,000, and with your help, we can achieve it. If you donate less than $100 over a year’s time, increase your giving to $100 during that same time period. Or, if you typically give once a year, consider upgrading your annual gift or becoming a monthly donor. Chances are, you’ll hardly notice the slight bump in giving. But the Foundation will notice it big time. #ASRTCentennial
