The lovely ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated - Alpha Beta Alumnae Chapter are proud supporters of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Our team is fundraising for the American Cancer Society's support services and lifesaving research, especially for BIPOC females/males.

 

Lambda Theta Alpha’s core values are tied to our commitment to give back to the community. We strive to continue working towards the enrichment of marginalized communities and groups by dedicating our time to fundraising and volunteering. As a mutli-cultural organization filled with diverse members, we are dedicated to the supporting causes that effect our communities.

 

Advances in early detection and treatment have dramatically reduced breast cancer’s fatality, but these breakthroughs haven’t benefitted all groups equally—and this disparity has remained unchanged for more than a decade.

      *  In the U.S., Hispanic women and Latinas are 28% less likely to develop breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women, who have the
          highest incidence rate.

    *  Hispanic women and Latinas are about 30% more likely to die from breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women.

    *  Hispanic women and Latinas are more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age.

    *  Hispanic women and Latinas are also at higher risk for more aggressive types of breast cancer.

    *  There is a persistent mortality gap between Black women and white women.

    *  While breast cancer incidence rates among Black and white women are close, black women have a 40% higher death rate.

    *  Young Black women have double the mortality rate of young non-white women.

 

Even though we all have our own reasons for joining Making Strides, we'll take down breast cancer because we're in it together.

 

 Please donate or join our team today, because together we can end breast cancer.
