Message from President Wallace

 Occurs annually during the entire month of November in support of the March of Dimes’ Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Day on November 17th. Since 2003, Zeta chapters and auxiliaries reach out to over 300 houses of worship annually across the country and distribute information on prematurity awareness, causes of prematurity and the importance of seeking prenatal care in an effort to decrease infant mortality and the number of low birth weight babies. Over the past six years, Zeta has documented a global impact of reaching more than 543,000 people through the Sorority’s signature grassroots campaign.
