First Annual Open House: A Day of ‘Breaking the Silence’

Each year, PEACE holds a flagship engagement event. Our first annual ‘Open House’, held in 2025, was a huge success – thanks to you!

On August 2nd, at the Second Baptist Church in Ypsilanti, our community – including fibroid patients, researchers, providers, and their families and friends – gathered to ‘Break the Silence on Fibroids.’

The day included talks from patients and physicians, including a memorable, multi-generation panel exploring the challenge and necessity of communication about fibroids and women’s health.

Throughout the event, stations supported ‘Healthy Eating,’ ‘Health Screenings,’ ‘Post-It’ discussions, a ‘Period Party, and other activities reflecting our goal of improving health for all. Our ‘Kids Activity Table’ also offered on-site entertainment and age-matched school supplies.

As a whole, the gathering offered a unique opportunity for attendees to share their experiences and gain new knowledge. All against a backdrop of great food and mutual support.

For our 2026 flagship event, we will be reaching beyond Michigan and – in partnership with the White Dress Project – will be bringing our women’s health message to Atlanta, Georgia. Details to come.
