Fibroid Fighters

What Fibroid Fighters does

Fibroid Fighters Foundation is a U.S. nonprofit organization founded in 2021 by Dr. Yan Katsnelson and headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois. Its stated mission is to educate the American public about the health, social, and economic impacts of uterine fibroid disease, which according to the organization's cited research affects roughly 26 million U.S. women and 70–80% of women before age 50. The foundation operates a portfolio of free digital resources, including a Fibroid Symptom Checker, a Period Tracker, the Share Your Story community storytelling platform, and educational blog content covering symptoms, treatment options, and emotional impacts.

The organization's go-to-market centers on community-led, event-driven outreach. Its flagship initiative, the annual 'Your Health in Full Bloom' event held in New York City (Marriott Marquis Times Square for the 2026 edition), combines health education panels, a Health Expo, expert speakers, and celebrity entertainment — featuring Grammy-nominated performers such as Jordin Sparks and Brenda K. Starr — with ticketed admission sold through Eventbrite. Celebrity advocates including Cynthia Bailey, Shay Johnson, Kym Lee-King, and Tweet (Charlene Keys) serve as ambassadors who share personal fibroid experiences to drive awareness and reduce stigma.

Revenue is generated through three streams: individual donations (one-time gifts of $25–$500 and monthly recurring gifts of $10 or $35), event ticket sales (offered with 50% early bird discounts), and corporate sponsorships. Named sponsors include USA Clinics Group, Medtronic, Merit Medical, and Primedia. Distribution occurs primarily through the organization's website and across social media platforms (TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Pinterest), supplemented by email newsletters, earned media including AP News coverage, and the in-person annual event. The foundation does not develop proprietary technology and explicitly operates as a public welfare nonprofit rather than a product company.

Direct peers

• National Women's Health Network: The National Women's Health Network is a nonprofit advocacy organization that promotes the health of women through policy advocacy and consumer health information. Comparable mission (women's health education and advocacy) and overlapping donor segment (women's health philanthropists).
• The White Dress Project: The White Dress Project is a nonprofit specifically focused on raising awareness of uterine fibroids and advocating for women's reproductive health. It directly competes with Fibroid Fighters in the same niche — fibroid awareness — sharing target audience (women with fibroids), similar community storytelling model, and overlapping celebrity/politician engagement strategy.
• Every Mother Counts: Every Mother Counts is a nonprofit founded by Christy Turlington Burns focused on maternal health and women's health equity through awareness, education, and advocacy. Highly comparable mission and celebrity-advocate-driven GTM to Fibroid Fighters, with similar public-facing events and storytelling programs.
• HealthyWomen: HealthyWomen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating women ages 35+ on health issues through independent research, education, and advocacy. Operates the same model of consumer-facing education, symptom/screening tools, and policy advocacy that Fibroid Fighters targets, but across a broader women's health agenda.

Broad incumbents

• March of Dimes: March of Dimes is a major women's and maternal health nonprofit with a long-running signature awareness event (March for Babies) and corporate sponsorship model. Relevant as a structural peer for Fibroid Fighters' event-driven, sponsor-funded nonprofit model targeting women's health.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: Planned Parenthood is the largest U.S. reproductive health nonprofit. Indirectly comparable as a women's reproductive health education/advocacy organization, though significantly larger and broader in scope; competes for the same donor mind-share on women's reproductive health.
• Susan G. Komen: Susan G. Komen is the largest nonprofit dedicated to awareness and fundraising for a women's health condition (breast cancer). It serves as the blueprint for celebrity-driven, event-based, corporate-sponsored disease awareness nonprofits at scale — the model Fibroid Fighters is emulating for uterine fibroids.
• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG Foundation): ACOG's foundation arm is a leading provider of physician-authored patient education materials on women's reproductive health, including fibroids. Represents the institutional/physician-end counterpart to Fibroid Fighters' patient-facing advocacy.
