The 60% of the women in the United States that have Dense Breast and are at increase risk for breast cancer development.

Please explain what this charity supports, i.e., programs, services, etc.

Operation Breast Density is a 501c3 nonprofit that focus on breast density education and awareness as well as provides financial assistance to woman who need supplemental imaging to complete their annual breast cancer screening. 60% of women have dense breast tissue and breast density increases a woman risk of developing breast cancer significantly. In addition, imaging dense breast tissue is challenging and a screening mammogram can miss a cancer diagnosis up to 50% of the time in women with dense breast. Our nonprofit focus educating clinicians on when supplemental imaging (whole breast ultrasound or Breast MRI) is needed for these high risk women. We hold educational lectures for local physician practices as well as a ladies night learning session for the general public to ensure all women are knowledgeable about breast density and its risk. We hold biannual Breast cancer screening symposium and have already educated hundreds of clinicians in the local Detroit area.
