Zeta Tau Alpha's national philanthropy is the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We raise money for the fund in addition to providing breast cancer information to 1000's of women (and men) annually. I would be glad to send anyone a shower card (detailing how to perform a self-exam) and pink-ribbon reminder stickers for your calendars. Alternately, I can put you in touch with the ZTA chapter in your area where you can get an unlimited supply of shower cards and sticker sheets for distribution.
One of my best friends lost a breast last year and this has affected me greatly. Young women, minorities and men are at the most risk for dying from this type of cancer because, unfortunately, they are the least-likely to perform monthly self exams.
