When hearts are open, hope expands.
Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club’s programs are provided at no cost to participants thanks to the generosity of our community. As Michael Radner, Gilda’s brother, once said, “Free is expensive.”
CSC at Gilda’s Club’s Red Door Society honors donors who make an investment in our mission with a 2-year commitment of $1,000 or more to our annual campaign (January 1-December 31).
All gifts provide Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club with the resources to provide our programs of emotional and social support, at no charge, at one of our Clubhouses or out in the community. Your financial support allows us to plan for our future, expand our programs, and help us ensure that no one faces cancer alone.
As a member of the Red Door Society, you will be invited to an exclusive reception to be recognized, recognition in the annual report and the Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club donor recognition board, receive invitations to signature events, and more depending on your giving level. If multiple gifts are given during the year, the cumulative total will be used for recognition.

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.”
