Members of UD's Zeta Tau Alpha chapter will honor October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with their annual Forever Reminding and Educating Every Female About Healthy Living concert from 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday at ArtStreet.

Blessid Union of Souls, Farewell Fisher and the UD student band The Jaywalkers will perform.

"All proceeds go to the Zeta Tau Alpha foundation," said Sarah Moellering, ZTA FREEFAHL chair. "All of the ZTA chapters raised money for it last year [and] were able to make $5.5 million going toward breast cancer education and awareness."

ZTA is a national female fraternity that currently has 147 active collegiate chapters. Its mission is to make a difference in its members' lives through an emphasis on "leadership development, service to others, academic achievement and continued personal growth for women," according to http://www.zetataualpha.org. Its national philanthropy is breast cancer education and awareness.

UD's ZTA chapter raised $9,500 last year, and members are aiming to raise $12,000 this year, Moellering said.

"One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer," Moellering said. "All cases can be dealt with with early prevention, and we want people to know that."

FREEFAHL started 13 years ago, and its audience and financial earnings have been growing ever since, Moellering said.

"Now it's to the point where big name bands come in to help us raise money," she said.

Other fraternities work to make FREEFAHL a success by helping to set up for the event, Krystal Killingsworth, ZTA chapter president, said.

Many UD male students have also purchased T-shirts that say "Real men wear pink ... and Zetas love real men" to help advertise.

Tickets for FREEFAHL cost $10. In addition to live music, pizza and drinks will be provided, which are included in the ticket cost. Participants can also enter a yogurt eating contest with a chance to win raffles for gift cards from several businesses in the Dayton area.

Those who attend can also purchase $1 candles for a luminary ceremony at 8 p.m. in which a breast cancer survivor will speak about her struggle with the disease and how she recovered. She will also discuss ways to prevent breast cancer.

"I think it's a really great event because everyone can be involved in it, and people get to listen to music," said Sara Zielinski, ZTA publicity chair. "It's a good time for all your friends to come out and help out a good cause. "

FREEFAHL tickets can be purchased from any ZTA member or at table hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today outside of The Galley in front of Kennedy Union. If it is raining, the table will be set up in the food court. Students can pay with cash, credit or Flyer Express. Tickets can also be purchased at the event for the same price.
