ServiceLocal Philanthropy Spending Time with the Seniors: During the 2007 holiday season we visited a small senior home and decorated cookies with the residents. They really seemed to enjoy the evening. Last spring we visited the same senior home and helped spruce up their property, cleaning up the gardens and planting some flowers. We are planning to visit again this spring to do some more spring cleanup and planting. Toys for Tots: Every year during our December meeting our chapter members bring new, unwrapped toys to donate to the "Toys for Tots" program. Save Lids to Save Lives: In the fall of 2007, our chapter collected 779 Yoplait yogurt lids that were specially marked "Save Lids to Save Lives", which was a 54% increase from our chapter's 2006 collection of 506 lids. For every lid that Yopliat receives from ZTA, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, up to $1.5 million. In addition, Yoplait will donate 5 cents to the ZTA Foundation up to 300,000 lids. During the Fall 2007 collection program, ZTA chapters collected 212,522 lids, resulting in a Yoplait donation of more than $10,600 to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of Zetas across the country, we have shown that together we can make a difference! National Philanthropy Breast Cancer Education and Awareness: In 1992, Zeta Tau Alpha adopted The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as the Fraternity's national philanthropy. At the 1996 International Convention, the Fraternity voted to increase ZTA's support of breast cancer awareness by backing all organizations committed to breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. |
