Hope That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime
Join Our Legacy of Hope: Consider a Gift to Us in Your Will or Trust. By including Cancer Support Community in your will or trust, you can create a lasting impact for people living with cancer and their families. Your planned gift helps ensure our programs and services—always provided at no cost—continue to offer comfort, guidance, and hope for generations to come.
Whether honoring a loved one or expressing your own commitment to those living with cancer, your generosity becomes a lasting legacy of care and support.
It’s simple to make a difference, and every gift, large or small, helps sustain the programs that matter most to those we serve.

How Do I Get Started?
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes.
You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Meet Teresa, whose journey with Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club began as a caregiver and continued when she faced her own cancer diagnosis. Now a survivor, she is an avid supporter of our mission, dedicating her time and voice to helping others.
Teresa reflects on the impact Gilda’s Club has had on her life: “I have been to Gilda’s as a family member when my sister was going through treatment and then came back as a cancer patient myself and as a survivor.
I have really been able to experience the full scope of services.”
