Welcome to Gilda's Club


Mission

To provide meeting places where men, women and children living with cancer, along with their families and friends, can join with others to build a personal network of social and emotional support as an integral part of cancer treatment.

Free of charge and non-profit, Gilda's Clubs offer support and networking groups, seminars, workshops, specialized children's programs and social events, in a nonresidential and home-like setting. Funding is solicited from private individuals, corporations and foundations.


Vision

The Gilda's Club philosophy of providing an emotional and social support community as an essential complement to medical treatment when cancer is in the family enables the organization to serve as a beacon for the provision of health care services in the 21st Century.

It is the vision of Gilda's Club Worldwide to become the international leader for strengthening the global awareness of this philosophy, and to advance an understanding of the essential bond that emotional and social support brings to the cancer experience, not only for those living with cancer, but also for the families and friends who surround them.
