Our Impact
The organization has created and sustained a platform for awareness and education about uterine fibroids.
The White Dress Project has hosted educational community events around the country to bring accurate information about fibroids to women.
Through these efforts, we have reached over 120,000 women since the inception of the organization in 2014.
We have taken our awareness efforts to the halls of Congress and local legislative bodies across the country earning July's official designation as Fibroid Awareness Month in several cities and in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“To my fibroid survivors and warriors....keep pushing, keep fighting, and keep believing.”
