    Zeta Tau Alpha’s chapter at the University of Virginia has hosted our annual Run for Life 5K in Charlottesville, Virginia every year for the past 28 years. Our race benefits the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation to fund scholarships, educational programming, leadership development and our fight against breast cancer, which includes our partnerships with Bright Pink, the NFL, the American Cancer Society, and locally with the UVA Breast Care Center. In years past, we have attracted approximately 1000 participants and raised nearly $30,000 for breast cancer each year. This race means so much to our chapter members, UVA, and the Charlottesville community.

    Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the United States. In order to continue to raise awareness for the significance of this disease, inspire hope for a cure, and maintain our education efforts, we will be hosting this year's race at Madison Bowl (adjacent to UVA Grounds, located between Rugby Rd and Madison Ln) on April 12th.

    If you're not able to make it in person we invite you to run the race in your hometown. Simply upload your times on this website and you will be ranked on the leaderboard.

    About Camp Holiday Trails:

    A Camp for Children and Teens with Medical Needs

    Since 1974, Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) has been a place of empowerment, growth, and joy for children and teens with medical needs across the Mid-Atlantic. Located in Charlottesville, VA, our camp welcomes kids with qualifying diagnoses ages 6-17, along with their siblings, to experience life-changing moments in an inclusive, supportive environment.

    We offer diagnosis-specific sessions, mixed-diagnosis sessions, overnight and day camp options, and year-round programming to meet the unique needs of our campers and families. Whether conquering our challenge course, adding milestones to the “Book of Firsts,” or making wishes during the Wishboat Ceremony, campers grow, thrive, and create lasting memories.

    Our mission is to provide transformative experiences that help campers manage their diagnoses, build friendships, and grow as individuals. Traditional camp activities and skill-building are woven into every moment. Our horseback riding program, for instance, uses adaptive equipment when needed to ensure all campers can participate in this beloved activity.

    To prioritize health and safety, we provide 24/7 medical care during Camp with dedicated staff ready to support every camper's unique needs.

    As a nonprofit, we are committed to accessibility. The true cost of a transformative week at Camp is $2,000 per camper, but thanks to generous donors, we’re proud to offer a nonrefundable camper fee of just $100. This ensures every eligible family can benefit from this incredible experience.

    Register for Summer Camp, apply to be a Cabin Counselor, or learn more about volunteering on our Med Team by visiting campholidaytrails.org.
