Review: Gilda’s Club

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.

The first Gilda’s Club opened its signature red door in New York City in 1995. Additional clubhouses have since opened in dozens of large cities, small cities, and several points in between.

Gilda’s Club has helped change the lives of tens of thousands of members, restoring a sense of control and enriching the entire family. Gilda’s spirit lives on at every Gilda’s Club. Read the story »
