Zeta Tau Alpha officially adopted
"Breast Cancer Education and Awareness"
as its national philanthropy in 1996
 

To think in terms of all mankind and our service in the world...
Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity for women has been a leader in the fight against breast cancer since it adopted breast cancer education and awareness as its national philanthropy in 1992. Since that time, Zetas have distributed more than 9 million Breast Self Examination Shower, Breast Self Examination Calendar Reminder Stickers and over 1 million Think Pink Ribbons and information cards in local communities, on college campuses, and even at NFL football games.

Zeta Tau Alpha is the founding sponsor of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Survivor Recognition Program, which began more than a decade ago. We provide the pink hats and t-shirts to all breast cancer survivors at every Race for the Cure event throughout the country. More on our partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure
