Gilda's Club is named in honor of Saturday Night Live comedian Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989. Gilda dreamed that all people affected by cancer, as well as their families and friends, would have access to the same kind of emotional and social support that she received during her illness.
Their mission is to develop strategies and lead activities that will enable our worldwide group of independent affiliates to become the premier emotional and social support community for people with cancer and their families and friends. To nurture affiliate network growth and serve as a unifying voice and catalyst to ensure program effectiveness, a quality brand image and the highest standard of operation wherever Gilda's Clubs exist.
The headquarters organization for a network of 30 affiliates, Gilda's Club Worldwide, www.gildasclub.org, works with communities around the world to start and sustain local clubhouses. Over the past 12 years, Gilda's Club Worldwide has built a solid reputation of care and accomplishment, as well as a distinguishing brand presence nationally.
