About the Foundation
Operation Breast Density (OBD), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about breast density and its crucial role as a risk factor for breast cancer development.
At OBD, our primary focus is on educating the community about breast density and the challenges it poses on breast cancer detection. We firmly believe that knowledge is empowerment, and by spreading awareness, we aim to equip women with vital information about their breast health.
One of our core initiatives is to ensure that all women, particularly those with dense breast tissue, have access to the supplemental imaging required for comprehensive screening. Through financial assistance programs, we strive to remove barriers and provide access to the necessary imaging to improve early detection rates.
Our ultimate goal is to prevent missed or delayed cancer diagnoses, leading to a significant reduction in overall breast cancer mortality. With your support, we can make a substantial difference in the lives of women and contribute to the fight against breast cancer.
Join us in this important mission, and together, let's build a future where breast cancer is detected early, treated effectively, and lives are saved.
Thank you for being a part of Operation Breast Density.
About the Event
Welcome to our gala, where we aim to make a meaningful impact and create a night to remember! Our primary goal is not only to have a fantastic time but also to raise crucial funds for women in need.
All the funds raised during this event will be dedicated to providing financial assistance to women with dense breasts and high-risk individuals. Our focus is on enabling these women to access the supplemental imaging they require for comprehensive breast cancer screening. As you may know, relying solely on mammograms can result in missing up to 50% of cancer diagnoses in women with dense breasts.
By contributing to our cause, you are directly supporting these women in obtaining the supplemental imaging that could be vital in detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection can be the key to saving lives, and your generous donations can make a significant difference in the fight against breast cancer.
We firmly believe that together, we can empower women with the knowledge and resources they need to prioritize their breast health. Join us for a night of celebration and philanthropy, knowing that every contribution goes towards improving the lives of those at risk. Thank you for being a part of our gala and for helping us in our mission to make a positive impact on women's health
