Every October, Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity nationally celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
With Breast Cancer Awareness and Education being our National Philanthropy, members in chapters across the country create special events to increase awareness and early detection for this cause.
Zeta Tau Alpha has a partnership with the National Football League to pass out Pink Ribbons at 28 different NFL stadiums. ZTA is also partnered with Yoplait Yogurt for Save Lids to Save Lives.
The pink lids you see on Yoplait yogurt during the month of October are the lids that ZTA collects. For every lid collected, Yoplait donates 5 cents to the ZTA Foundation, and 10 cents to Susan G. Komen.
Our third and final partnership is with Susan G. Komen. Susan G. Komen is the primary sponsor for Race for the Cure. ZTA provides pink T-shirts and baseball caps for the race for participants to wear, and provides the Survivor Program accommodations.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Zeta Tau Alpha (Alpha Chapter) will be hosting a Pink Week during the week of October 21-26.
The week will go as follows: Kiss Away Cancer booth including educational info and Hershey kisses on Oct. 22, a Yogurt Eating Contest with Yoplait Yogurt on Oct. 23, a Spirit Night on Oct. 25 at Buffalo Wild Wings and for the big finale, a Color Me Pink 5k on Oct. 26, followed by a survivor guest speaker and a balloon release.
ZTA Alpha Chapter is so enthused to participate in activities that go toward such a great cause.
ZTA hopes that the Longwood Community will be able to help us “Think Pink” this month.
