In 1992, ZTA adopted The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as its national philanthropy. Later, the Fraternity broadened its focus to encompass not only the Komen Foundation, but also other educational means dedicated to fighting breast cancert hrough education, awareness and promoting breast health. Furthermore, each alumnae and collegiate chapter generally volunteers with one or more local philanthropy of its choosing in addition to their support of the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation and ZTA's national philanthropy.

ZTA began an association with The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation 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 CureŽ 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 $1.6 million to The Susan G. Komen Foundation since 1992. Additionally, more than 5,000 Zetas volunteer in excess of 50,000 hours each year to support the more than 100 Komen Race for the CureŽ events nationwide. Zeta Tau Alpha facilitates its local efforts through a ZTA Race Representative at each Race.

Race for the Cure

Each year Zeta Tau Alpha Delta Nu participates in Race for the Cure. This year we are going to join Baton Rouge's race on the 20th of March. Our philanthropy is a serious and emotional side of our fraternity.








Batting Out Breast Cancer

Annually Zeta Tau Alpha Delta Nu holds a function called "Batting out Breast Cancer" in which we fundraise by means of softball. It is a dually positive experience because it is a fun event as well as gratifying in that money was raised for breast cancer awareness.
