Wide/Med/Tight - ZTA Balloon Release Ceremony

On March 14, the University of Maryland's Zeta Tau Alpha sorority held a balloon release ceremony honoring and remembering those who have fought and are fighting breast cancer. Attendees could write on a helium balloon the name of someone they wanted to commemorate, then everyone released the balloons into the air at the same time.
