As one of the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s national sponsors of Race for the Cure, members of Zeta Tau Alpha in Austin helped continue the trend of contributing to the organization through its participation in the local race Nov. 1 at the Domain. Members of the Austin ZTA Alumnae team raised $1,030 (not including the $30 race entry fee) for Komen Austin. A special thanks goes out to our top race team fundraisers, Ginger Layman, Dayoliz Perez, Kelti Bailey and Tammy Purser. There were 10 members on the Austin ZTA Alumnae team and several other alumnae members participating on other Race for the Cure teams.
A special thanks also goes out to our alumnae members, Catherine Bigler, Kari Long and Michelle Ketchaw, and Kappa chapter collegiate members Maggie Holmes, Shellie Herr and Katie Gaskin who helped volunteer at the Komen Austin Race for the Cure Survivor Tent and for passing out roses to breast cancer survivors crossing the finish line.
Supporters can now help raise additional funds to fight breast cancer in their local communities by going to ask.com/curecard and selecting “Austin” in the drop-down menu after typing in a valid e-mail address.
The Komen affiliate with the highest percentage of participant registrations will receive a $10,000 donation from ask.com. Also, find links to important breast health information.
