| $750 – Supports
transportation needs for a member for a year |
| For some of our members just getting to Gilda’s Club can
be a challenge. Transportation can be a barrier for them if
they do not have a car or if they are unable to drive. Gilda’s
Club feels strongly that this should not be a reason for someone to
not receive the support they need and we offer cab rides to and from
the clubhouse. |
