PHILANTHROPY

Prevent Child Abuse America

At the 1982 National Convention, the convention body unanimously agreed to adopt Prevent Child Abuse America as Sigma Delta Tau's National Philanthropy. PCAA is a voluntary organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse through citizen action.

         Each Sigma Delta Tau chapter conducts an annual service project, educational program, or major fund raiser for the benefit of Prevent Child Abuse America. Together, the SDT chapters contribute more than $50,000 each year to their National Philanthropy.

 The Gamma Mu chapter at NU holds two major events throughout the year:

5K Run To Prevent Child Abuse

Walk To Keep Kids Safe 

         

          April is "Child Abuse Prevention" Month. Many Sigma Delta Tau chapters participate in the National Blue Ribbon Campaign.
Blue ribbons are distributed on campuses across the country to help spread the awareness of child abuse to undergraduates everywhere.

          The National organization works hand in hand with the headquarters of Prevent Child Abuse America in Chicago.
Chapters and alumnae may contact the Prevent Child Abuse America office directly for information:
