support recession-impacted, graduating seniors who need to pay off balances for tuition,
books as well as room and board before they can receive their diplomas. The UNCF
Campaign for Emergency Student Aid (CESA) has a goal to raise $250,000. The funds
will be used to support graduating seniors who need to pay off balances for tuition,
books as well as room and board before they can receive their diplomas.
From January 1st through February 28th, supporters of each Greek organization will
be able to text-to-donate. We will text UNCF ZPB to 50555 to make a donation to UNCF.
The UNCF is asking for a $10 text donation from 2,777 members; however I know that
our members will want to put their full weight behind this effort so I am asking
all Zetas, Zeta Auxiliary Members, Friends and Families members of Zetas to donate
$20 per individual to symbolize our founding in 1920. Z-HOPE points will be awarded
to chapters or auxiliaries donating a minimum of $100.
UNCF An Evening of Stars® Tribute to Chaka Khan will air nationally on Saturday,
January 29th, and on BET Networks on Sunday, January 30th at 10 p.m . as well other
channels.
