Gilda's Club Madison

Gilda Radner is best known as an original cast member of Saturday Night Live. It was Gilda Radner's visits to a Wellness Community during her bout with cancer that inspired Gilda's Clubs as we know them today. Today, The Wellness Community and Gilda's Club, under the umbrella of the Cancer Support Community, offer more than 50 locations for people to come together to find the emotional and social support during their cancer journey. Gilda's Club has something for everyone affected by cancer. Come as you are. Connect. Everyone is welcome. Your cancer story is your own. The Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club Madison is here to listen, teach, and provide hope and encouragement. We will help guide you and your entire family through every step of your personal cancer journey. Through our doors, you will find an understanding community, with many willing to share their personal stories, along with the support of licensed mental health professionals, dedicated volunteers, specialized nutrition and exercise instructors, and many others dedicated to helping you meet your needs and foster your well-being. Living with cancer can be both a physical and emotional challenge. Gilda's Club offers a wide range of free programs including: professionally-led support groups for people living with cancer, survivors, and their loved ones; support and education programs for children, adults and teens; evidence-based lectures and hands-on workshops; yoga, gentle movement and exercise classes; nutrition education and cooking classes and stress management. You can participate in as many or as few of our programs as you choose, all at no cost. VOLUNTEERS: We have many one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities. We are also open to your new ideas. Do you have a skill you want to share but don't see an opportunity that fits your skill set? Call us, and we will strive to accommodate you.

Gilda's Club Madison is a cancer support community for men, women, children and teens impacted by cancer. Our mission at Gilda's Club Madison is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. Cancer happens to the entire family and its social network, so club membership is extended to include all who are impacted by cancer. Membership and all activities are provided at no-cost.
