At Shorter, ZTA hosts a variety of service and fund raising projects,
such as Swing for Pink Golf Tournament and
Pinktoberfest which have raised over $10,000 during the 2006-
2008 biennium!
Since adoption as the Fraternity's national philanthropy in 1992, the
focus on Breast Cancer awareness and education has brought
enthusiastic support from ZTA alumnae and collegians, whose
mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and friends have been touched by
the disease. In fact, one out of every eight women will be affected by
breast cancer.
ZTA is extremely proud of our National Partnerships with:
Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Yoplait Yogurt
National Football League
Self Magazine
Kellogg's Cereals
Thousands of ZTA volunteers rise before dawn to staff Race for the
Cure events in over 100 cities across the world each year. Heartfelt
support comes from the ZTA Foundation's co-sponsorship of
Komen's Survivor program. At the Race, ZTA members give Breast
Cancer Survivors "badges of honor," special hats and buttons to wear
during Race events, while ZTA gives all runners back signs to wear
"In Memory" or "In Celebration" of loved ones with Breast Cancer. As
the runners progress along the 5K route, there are hundreds of Zetas
along the way to cheer them on.
Zeta Tau Alpha encourages the public to "Think Pink" in October,
which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and members distribute
millions of pink ribbons for supporters to wear. (In fact, Zeta Tau
Alpha does so much for Breast Cancer awareness, research, and
treatment, that "Think Pink" is now a registered trademark logo of
ZTA.)
