The
Dorimell Borders and George W. Axam
Foundation
CONTINUING THE LEGACY
Dorimell Borders Axam, niece to Rev. William Holmes Borders Sr., was an outstanding person, singer, dancer, costume designer and seamstress. She served as CFO and Customer Service Representative for Total Dance/Dancical Productions, Inc. She spent countless Saturdays at the studio cooking meals and mentoring students, family and friends. April is our time to connect with you – our treasured sponsors – as we celebrate my mother, Dorimell Borders Axam (her birthday is April 28).
George W. Axam stayed true to the couple’s belief in kindness and generosity by mentoring and providing employment, training and licensing to young barbers. He was a father figure for the Castleberry Hills community for 70 years. In 2011, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution recognized George W. Axam as the oldest known African- American barber in Atlanta.
Dorimell Borders and George W. Axam were stellar philanthropists and served the TDDP community with endless giving – which is why we are still here today. The Dorimell Borders and George W. Axam Foundation has been created to continue their legacy of service and giving in dance, cultural arts education.
