Zeta Tau Alpha’s longstanding dedication to breast cancer education and awareness has grown into a meaningful national partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a collaboration rooted in shared commitment to ending the disease through research. In 2022, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ZTA’s adoption of breast cancer education and awareness as its national philanthropy, the ZTA Foundation made an initial, landmark grant of $500,000 over two years to BCRF to support its innovative work using artificial intelligence to improve early detection and risk prediction for breast cancer.
Inspired by BCRF’s hyperfocus on eradicating breast cancer through cutting-edge research, ZTA deepened its support in 2024 with a $1.25 million commitment over two years to continue to expand research efforts into early detection, improved screening protocols, and prevention studies. This ongoing partnership reflects ZTA’s belief that education, awareness, and investment in scientific research are key to ultimately defeating breast cancer.
