In 2020 Gilda's Club NYC celebrated our 25th Anniversary of supporting, educating and empowering cancer patients and their families in New York City – always free of charge. For the past 25 years we never wavered from what we truly believe – that No One Should Face Cancer Alone. Every year, our membership has grown and every year we continue to reach more New Yorkers who need our free cancer suppo
rt program. Gilda Radner coined “It’s Always Something” and at Gilda’s Club it has always been our mantra. We know how to turn every “something” to something better – COVID-19 is just a recent example of the many obstacles we have surmounted in the past. And the silver lining, the “something better” is that during the pandemic year, we reached more people, providing more free cancer support for men, women, teens and children in a wider geographical area, to more underserved communities than we ever dreamed possible. This name reflects an evolution of 25 years of free cancer support that we have provided to cancer patients and their families. Our Red Door is a symbol of hope, inspiration and community for cancer patients, their families and friends.
