October is recognized as
Pink Month for breast cancer awareness. The fraternity of Zeta Tau Alpha
proudly recognizes breast cancer education and awareness as their national
philanthropy. ZTA partners with the American Cancer Society®, National Football League, Bright Pink and Self
Magazine. One in eight women
will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. ZTA remains committed to the fight
against breast cancer because breast cancer continues to affect friends, family
members and ZTA sisters across the world.
At Ohio Northern
University, the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha host various events on campus to
raise awareness for breast cancer education and awareness. During the month of October, ZTA is hosting their
annual Pink Pasta Dinner, Pink Football Game and a “Striking Out Cancer” dodge
ball tournament. Here is a list of ZTA’s
events for pink month:
Wednesday, October 7: Pink
Pasta Dinner at the Inn
Enjoy all you can eat salad, breadsticks, pasta and
dessert for only $12!
Saturday, October 17: Pink
Football game vs. Capital University
Come
support the Ohio Northern Polar Bears against the Capital Crusaders. Don’t
forget to wear your pink in support of breast cancer awareness.
Monday, October 26: “Striking
Out Cancer” Dodge Ball Tournament
Join
the sisters of ZTA in King Horn and get a team together for a friendly game of doge
ball. Teams can be women, men or coed for only $8 per game.
If you have any questions,
feel free to contact any ZTA sister.
Not only are the sisters
of ZTA at Ohio Northern hosting events for breast cancer education and
awareness, ZTA collegiate and alumnae chapters hold over 500 events to raise funds
and awareness for breast cancer.
All over the country, the
sisters of ZTA join with the NFL to pass out pink ribbons at NFL stadiums
across the country. Pretty cool, right? Sisters of ZTA also have the
opportunity to participate in various Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® walks. ZTA volunteers at nearly 300 walks
nationwide.

Allie,
ReplyDeleteI can personally say that the Pink Pasta dinner was a success. Now I have surgery this Friday so I can't be at that football game, but I did have a great dinner thanks to the ZTA sisters and I wish I could knock out some dweebs in that dodgeball tournament. I have always loved how ZTA goes above and beyond for the Breast Cancer Awareness month because even though it seems like everyone can help Breast Cancer now a days, it is never tiring to see some college girls just take the bar to the next level and do an amazing job for a bigger cause. Allie, you and your sisters should be proud of your efforts and be even more motivated to nail the next few weeks coming up. Great Post and CANCER SUCKS!
Allie,
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you're sharing your philanthropy on your blog. We in greek life are so passionate about our chapter's philanthropies, but not many of us go around advertising it. This post is not only helping to promote ZTA's events but its helping change the schemas of greek life in general. Great work.
I had no idea DZ hosted a dodge-ball tournament! Guess I should read my student-l's more often haha. As for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I always love the involvement from communities to promote awareness. All the games, races and events is a fun way to spread awareness about the disease. F-cancer!
