The sisters of Sigma Delta Tau are proud to say that our national philanthropy is Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA). Chapters nationwide support this organization to help end the harmful effects of child abuse in America. PCAA helps to educate and prevent the violent cycle of child abuse and help children find a safe haven. The sisters of Sigma Delta Tau have various fundraisers throughout the year to help donate to the cause. We participate in selling baked goods all year round, our annual Fashion Show, and car washes (just to name a few) where a large portion of our proceeds go to PCAA.
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 $100,000 each year to their National 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.
