WHITE DRESS PROJECT INC

LITHIA SPGS, GA

    • Mission

    The mission of The White Dress Project (TWDP) is to raise global awareness about the uterine fibroid (UF) epidemic through education, research, community, and advocacy. We are dedicated to this mission, by advocating for research funding, highlighting reproductive health inequities, educating many on fibroids and their treatment options, and empowering a community who will advocate for their best health choices and no longer suffer in silence with this chronic illness. As a non-profit organization, primarily made up of women with impactful fibroid journeys, we are uniquely positioned to educate, empower, and support those who are managing life with fibroids. Our work is actualized through our vibrant community, scientific and clinical research, and our advisory council of health practitioners, who are leaders within the field.

    About Us

    Our community is our north star and guiding force as we work to create an environment where their health concerns are believed, all their options are accessible, and where community, research, advocacy, and science intersect. Most women with fibroids do not like to wear white because of the heavy bleeding related to the condition. The "white dress" is not a fashion statement but a movement. It is an emblem of hope and strength for women who are suffering from fibroids and a reminder that we will find a cure.

    • The organization has created and sustained a platform for awareness, education, and support for those managing life with fibroids.
    • The White Dress Project has hosted educational community events around the country to share accurate information about fibroids.
    • The organization's efforts 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 official designation as Fibroid Awareness Month across the country.
