Sadly, most of us know and love someone who has been affected by or lost their life to breast cancer...

According to the American Cancer Society, one in every seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Do your part to protect not only your friends and family, but yourself against breast cancer!

You can help the ladies of ZETA TAU ALPHA to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness and Education! The women of ZTA are dedicated to serving Breast Cancer Awareness...won't you help us?
 
Each registered runner will receive:
  • Food and refreshments provided by event sponsors
  • an event t-shirt and race pack
  • massages after the race

The ZTA 5K also has a silent auction and prizes for top finishers in several different categories!!!

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.

Each year, members distribute one million waterproof shower cards which identify how to perform breast self-examinations; volunteer at more than 86 Race for the Cure® events nationwide; and co-sponsor the Survivor Program for the Race® series.

Alpha Omicron has continued this commitment by holding the ZTA5K. With the support of the University of Iowa, UI Greek Community, local Iowa City businesses, and our family and friends, almost $4000 was raised in the first year.  Now in our 10th year, our 5K Race for the Cure has experienced continued success raising close to $20,000 last year!
