Philanthropies

Think Pink® is a registered trademark of ZTA and is the theme for its philanthropic efforts devoted to breast cancer education and awareness. The ZTA Foundation has three national partnerships. As the National Survivor Ambassador for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® walks with the American Cancer Society®, collegians and alumnae volunteer at nearly 150 walks every year. ZTA partners with Bright Pink®, a national nonprofit organization focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer, to educate our ZTA and campus communities using tools like Assess Your Risk®. ZTA is also the official fan outreach partner for the NFL’s Crucial Catch campaign to raise awareness at stadiums across the country every October. In addition to its national partnerships, collegiate and alumnae chapters nationwide host more than 500 Think Pink events in their local communities to raise awareness and distribute more than a million Think Pink ribbons each year.
