Typically
during the month of October, chapters distribute THINK-PINK!®
ribbons, BSE calendar stickers and Shower cards. However,
many chapters promote THINK-PINK!®
throughout the year. In September 2000, THE Foundations
Seminar, sponsored by the Interfraternity Conference,
awarded the ZTA Foundation first place honors in the category
of “Best Use of Foundation Funds for an Educational
Project” for the THINK-PINK!®
campaign.
- Since
1992 Zetas have distributed 9 million shower
cards with instructions of the proper method for breast
self-examination (BSE). This has spread the message of early
detection in campuses across the country as well as into
communities both here and abroad.
-
In 2000, ZTA members began to distribute the BSE
Calendar Reminder Stickers as an added tool for
promoting regular breast self-examination. Since then,
more than 3.8 million BSE calendar
reminder stickers have been distributed.
- THINK-PINK!®
ribbons were added to the breast cancer education
and awareness promotions in 1997. Since that time
2 million have been distributed.
The ribbons are attached to information cards conveying
the message of early detection as the key to survival
and a greater quality of life. People wear the ribbons
to show awareness of and support for those surviving
breast cancer and to remember those who lost the fight
against this disease.
-
In addition to the breast cancer awareness campaigns
mentioned above, the Foundation has developed display
items, banners, education brochures and volunteer
T-shirts. These are available through International
Office.
