What is a Gilda's Club Member

Membership at Gilda’s Club is for anyone touched by cancer. We know cancer affects families – not individuals – so membership is open to the person living with cancer, and equally, to family & friends of those living with cancer, and family & friends of those who have died from cancer. We’re open to women & men, children & teens, and any type of cancer.  

Membership is easy and FREE. The first step is to attend a New Member Meeting, which includes a tour of the Clubhouse and a detailed explanation of our innovative program. It all takes about 90 minutes. Being a member of Gilda’s Club entitles you to everything we offer. You can search our National Cancer Institute database with updated information about cancer; you can check out books, DVDs or CDs from our lending library; you can attend Workshops and Lectures with experts from the community who will teach you self-care, mind-body skills, or the latest in cancer treatments.

Membership also means you can participate in a monthly Networking Group, or after a short meeting with Program Staff, a weekly Support Group. And best of all, membership means not being alone. You can join other members at our monthly Social Events, such as “Grill & Games,” and “Gilda’s Got Talent,” or just hang out with other members who “get it” as no one else can.
