Philanthropy

At the 1982 National Convention, the convention body unanimously agreed to adopt Prevent Child Abuse America as Sigma Delta Tau's National Philanthropy. Prevent Child Abuse America 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 $30,000 each year to their National Philanthropy.

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 organizations work hand in hand with the headquarters of the Prevent Child Abuse America in Chicago. Chapters and alumnae may contact the Prevent Child Abuse America office directly for information:
