DVA Week (10/21-10/25)

In the fall we dedicate ourselves to our philanthropy, domestic violence awareness. In the month of October, we host our Domestic Violence Awareness week. From blanket making events for victims and survivors, to candlelight vigils in their honor, we dedicate an entire week to educating students and different sectors of our community on the issue of domestic violence. We have also teamed up with campus entities such as CARE (Campus Advocacy, Resources & Education) to host workshops on healthy relationshps and self-defense/self-empowerment classes. Year after year we try to bring as much awareness as we can and also allocate funds to donate to the Domestic Violence Solution Center in Santa Barbara with the help of our university community. Join us in this year's DVA week to raise awareness to a prominent issue in our communities.

Run For Love 5k

In the Spring, we host an annual 5k run on our UCSB campus to bring awareness as well as raise funds to donate to our local Domestic Violence Solutions Center in Santa Barbara. From the very year it was created to the present, the run has always been a success- recruiting 100+ participants and raising up to $1000 every year, to bringing attention to such a grave issue in our society most of all. Sigma Alpha Zeta is immensely grateful to the Solutions Center in Santa Barbara, our donors, followers, students and community for all the love and support. Check out our Instagram and website to see any updates of this year's run.
