About Gilda's Club South Florida
Since 1994, Gilda’s Club South Florida has built a vibrant and diverse community of supporters, cancer patients, survivors, and loved ones. We strive to achieve our mission to uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care. We do this by honoring Gilda Radner’s legacy, our namesake, and an original Saturday Night Live cast member who after her cancer diagnosis envisioned a place of participation, education, hope and friendship to be made available to cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and their friends and families impacted with any types of cancer. Today, that place is Gilda’s Club where we provide FREE cancer support and services that directly impact our South Florida community. The success of our organization means lives are being saved; depression and anxiety rates go down; and people do not have to worry about their financial hardship while going through cancer treatment.
It has been our goal to increase social ties, sense of control, hope, and meaning for individuals impacted by cancer to help improve their health and well-being. We aim to provide a holistic, patient-active approach to wellness to improve overall health outcomes. Our groups and events give our members the support they need to confront cancer. Our education programs aim to empower people impacted by cancer with the knowledge necessary to take an active role in their path to recovery. They are designed to strengthen both body and mind throughout the cancer journey.
