the whole time.
Join us and find a home away from home – a free community of support and a safe place for everyone who is touched by cancer.

Our program is free for those who need it because of the generosity of donors who help make our vision a reality.
I have a theory that cancer cells hate laughter
and jokes and songs and dancing.

Living with cancer is not a choice.
How you live with it is.
When cancer knocks on your door,
walk through ours.
Gilda's Club has been a safe haven, a second family, and a wonderful experience for me. I have laughed, cried, and learned so much.
Gilda’s is an extension of my family in a way I would never have expected. It’s made such a positive impact on my family and me.
I didn't choose to get cancer; it chose me. At Gilda's, I've learned that cancer doesn't define who I am, what I can do, or how to live my life. I'm still in charge of me as I walk this journey learning to live with cancer, and not for cancer.
The support I've received has been invaluable and it's comforting to know I'm surrounded by people who truly understand the cancer journey and are there to support me every step of the way.
As a person caring for a loved one with cancer, I cannot recommend Gilda’s enough to others. Gilda’s left me more informed and less alone. It’s a vital resource.
Gilda’s saved me when my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. Gilda’s became an emotional lifeline. To be surrounded by those with similar stories was invaluable. After he passed, I joined the bereavement group and learned to navigate how to live with loss.
Thank you to our sponsors!
