Zeta Phi Beta - Delta Zeta Amicae of Charlotte

Our team,  Delta Zeta Amicae of Charlotte is part of the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. Last year, the Delta Zeta Amicae of Charlotte hosted a prematurity awareness event in November of 2023. The state of NC continues to have a D rating when it comes to prematurity and maternal health. This health disparity affects black and brown people more than any other demographic. Prematurity Awareness and the March of Dimes Walk bring needed attention and funding for education and research to this impactful cause.  Our highlight this year is one of our newest and youngest members. Amica Jaiana (Jaiana Michelle A-Brown) was born September 28, 2000, 5lbs 2oz @ 30 weeks gestation at Northside Hospital in Atlanta Georgia. Jai beat all the odds and came home after 4 days in Neonatal care, she was released to her parents on oxygen for a minimum of 7 months and a life of steroids for lung support. Today, we have a healthy thriving young adult that requires no respiratory medication to survive. Our auxiliary has a few members who have children who were born prematurely. Sadly, this affects minority women at a higher rate, especially African American women. The  Delta Zeta Amicae of Charlotte, take this cause personally and to heart!! 

With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, we’re committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. You can get involved and help us!
