Breast cancer

and awareness
what is our philanthropy?
Zeta Tau Alpha’s national philanthropy is breast cancer education and awareness. One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, so this cause is personal.
Breast cancer touches many lives.
Through local and national partnerships, campus and community initiatives, and the distribution of millions of pink ribbons since 1992, ZTA collegiate and alumnae members are dedicated to our philanthropy. By spreading the message of breast cancer education and awareness, ZTA sisters are determined to diminish this disease.
Each Zeta Tau Alpha collegiate and alumnae chapter supports our national philanthropy, breast cancer education and awareness, and the ZTA Foundation. Each chapter also identifies opportunities to meet community needs through local service projects.
Service is integral to the ZTA experience. The Creed of Zeta Tau Alpha asks members to “think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world.” Zetas serve their communities in a variety of ways, including volunteering at a childcare center or a senior living community, clearing trash from local roads or streams, or walking dogs at an animal shelter. Sisters serve to make a positive difference.

National Partners
Through the partnership of the ZTA Foundation with the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walks, Bright Pink a non-profit focused on prevention and early detection), as well as the NFL, we are committed to fighting for a world without breast cancer!
MEET Audie!
"I am so proud to be part of a philanthropy that supports and empowers women through education and awareness. Zeta Tau Alpha's Breast Cancer Education and Awareness is especially meaningful knowing that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
As we prepare for Kiss Away Cancer Week and our upcoming King of Pink, I am excited to see our chapter come together to support such an important cause. These events will allow us to raise awareness, build community, and show our support for survivors and their families. I cannot wait to help grow our philanthropy and create meaningful traditions for our chapter this year."
