Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is a proud partner of The March of Dimes. With more than 40 years in-partnership, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is proud to be a top national March for Babies team, and a leader in Prematurity Awareness Month programs, with volunteers at all levels of The March of Dimes Foundation.
A national cooperative project of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and The March of Dimes Foundation is Stork’s Nest. This project aims to increase the number of women receiving early and regular prenatal care in an effort to prevent cases of low birth-weight, premature births and infant deaths. The first Stork’s Nest was launched in Atlanta, Georgia in 1971, sponsored by the Fulton-Dekalb-Clayton Chapter of the March of Dimes. The program was so successful that Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. adopted Stork’s Nest in 1972 as its national project. The first Nest to open after it was adopted as Zeta’s national project was in Houston, Texas. To-date, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. has more than 80 Nests throughout the country.
The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start. Our team has joined thousands of compassionate teams across the country that support March for Babies.
