Philanthropy

Philanthropy is a big part of every Zeta's life. We pride ourselves on raising money to benefit Breast Cancer Education and Research. Our chapter has taken many strides in the amount of service and activities we do both on campus and off. Our philanthropy is very important to us, and we make sure to make our activities benefiting our philanthropy happen throughout the year rather than having just one week devoted to it.

Rockin For the Ribbon

The women of Zeta Tau Alpha invite you to our annual philanthropy event, Rockin' for the Ribbon. All proceeds are donated to Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. 

Susan G Komen 
Race for the Cure

ZTA began an association with Susan G. Komen for the Cure in 1992 when it became the first national sponsor of the Race for the Cure's National Series Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program. Since that year, ZTA has continually served as a national sponsor of the Survivor Recognition Program. In the early 1990s, ZTA co-sponsored this program for three years with Kellogg. In 2002, RE/MAX replaced Kellogg as ZTA's co-sponsor. ZTA provides the signature pink T-shirts and caps for participants to wear during the race. As part of the Survivor Program, ZTA also provides pink "In Memory Of" and "In Celebration Of" back signs for participants to wear during the Race for the Cure events so they may race in honor of a friend or loved one. The ZTA Foundation also provides an educational item for each Race participant, such as the ZTA Breast-Self Examination (BSE) Calendar Reminder Stickers.

On behalf of ZTA, the Foundation has donated more than $2 million to Komen for the Cure since 1992. Additionally, more than 5,000 Zetas volunteer in excess of 50,000 hours each year to support the more than 100 Race events nationwide. Zeta Tau Alpha facilitates its local efforts through a ZTA Race Representative at each Race.

Stand Up Stand Out

Stand up Stand Out is the newest campaign that Zeta Tau Alpha has to offer. In partnership with the Kappa Delta Sorority, Zeta invited all sorority women to a night of inspiration. Mrs. Cathy Scroggs and Mrs. Kim Dude, both sorority alumni, gave speeches on women's empowerment and how sorority women can make a difference. Zeta and the NFL form a Team

 

Two years ago Zeta and Yoplait teamed up to bring the Save Lids, Save Lives campaign to campuses across the nation. The Alpha Psi Chapter was selected to be one of the starting chapters to launch this campaign. This past year Zeta's nationally set out to collect 300,000 lids and surpassed the goal by over 46,000 lids! Each lid provides 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and 5 cents to the ZTA Foundation for Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. We will continue to work with Yoplait and collect lids across campus and in our chapter.
