Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc and members of Gamma Zeta, in recognition of our 100 years of being community-conscious and action-oriented, we must continue to lead the way to end a difficult situation. The March of Dimes and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. are challenged to do one-step better than last year - one more dollar, one more visit to the NICU, one more opportunity to encourage a first-time Mom or Dad and one more time on this side of Zeta's 100 years of scholarship, service, sisterhood and finer womanhood to break records!
Why We Walk:
Babies born to black women in the US are nearly 1.5 times as likely to be born too soon compared to babies born to white women.
More than 1 in 8 black infants are born prematurely compared to 1 in 10 for all babies.
In 2015 in the US, the preterm birth rate among black women was 13.4 percent, compared to the national average of 9.6 percent.
The goal for Gamma Zeta is $4,500. To reach this goal, we need your support. Please invite your families, friends and colleges to walk with us. Your gift funds programs in our community that help moms have healthy, full turn pregnancies and supports research to find answers to the problems that threatens our babies. Thank you and we look forward to having you on our team!! Please contact team captain, Jacqueline townsend, if you need more information.
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
