Sigma Theta Psi, Epsilon Chapter will be having a table ever Tuesday and Thursday in the Month of October.

We will be collecting donations and giving away for those who help the cause.

Sigma Theta Psi's National Philanthropy is Breast Cancer. Since 1997, Sigma Theta Psi has devoted our efforts to promote awareness of this disease, in its many campuses and surrouding communities.

Our objective is to promote breast cancer awareness by hosting two national events promoted regionally and nine chapter events hosted by local chapters.

Our National event is the Double-D Brunch. It takes place twice a year throughout the northern and southern regions. The Northern Double D Brunch is hosted every Fall by SJSU, CSUS, CSUMB and Stanford University. The Southern Double D Brunch is hosted every Spring by SDSU, MSMC, LB, and USC.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women.

Currently, approximately 3 million women are living with the disease.
Of these, 2 million have been diagnosed and 1 million have not.

Breast cancer is the leading death cause among women ages 20-59.

1 out of 8 women will develop breast cancer sometime during her life-
this means 1 new diagnosis every 2 minutes.

Every 12 minutes a woman will die of breast cancer.

All women, regardless of family history are at risk for breast cancer. In fact, in 90% of cases there’s is no family history of the disease.

Regardless of age, African-American women have the highest rate of mortality rates.

About 2,000 men are diagnosed with Breast cancer every year.
