What Gilda's Club IS
|
What Gilda's Club IS NOT |
| A Clubhouse for People Touched by Cancer--Any
Cancer, Any Age. |
Gilda's Club IS NOT Just for Women. |
| Inspired by Saturday Night Live Comedian Gilda Radner,
who died of ovarian cancer in 1989, Gilda's Club Madison is the 23rd
clubhouse in North America. |
It is for men, women, and children of all ages. |
| A Place to Find Social and Emotional Support. |
Gilda's Club IS NOT Just for Women with Breast
Cancer or Ovarian Cancer. |
| Through each other--whether during a support group or
at an activity night, you will be able to connect with other members
going through a similar cancer journey. |
It is for anyone, male or female, affected by ANY
kind of cancer. |
| A Place to Learn From Others. |
Gilda's Club IS NOT a Residence or Place to Stay
Overnight. |
From professionals speaking about cancer-related
topics
to the member you meet during yoga class--everyone has
a story to
share. |
Although it looks like a house, we do not have
bedrooms or beds...but the couches are very comfortable! We are strictly
a clubhouse for members to use during the day and some evenings. |
| A Place to Hang Out and to Call your Own. |
Gilda's Club IS NOT Just for People with Cancer. |
Between treatments or after a shopping trip, our
clubhouse is open to members to grab a juice and cookie, hang out by the
fire, hop onto a computer in our resource area, or to simply take a nap
on our couches...whatever the need, the clubhouse is theirs. |
It is for anyone touched by cancer...from friends or
family of someone who has or had cancer, to those just diagnosed, going
through treatment, or in remission...we're here for you!
|
| A Place to Laugh! |
|
| Or cry if need be...it is a place to be yourself and
express yourself. |
|
| FREE! |
|
| Gilda's Club never--nope, never--charges members any
fees whatsoever! you can't charge for what is given from the heart. |
