The demand for the Gilda’s Club NYC cancer support program increased dramatically during the pandemic, with the program growing by 55% in 2020. This concert provides an opportunity to help them continue to meet the needs of anyone impacted by cancer.
Gilda’s Club New York City provides a welcoming community of free social and emotional support for anyone impacted by cancer – adults, teens, children and their families who are living with a cancer diagnosis, post treatment, caregivers, or grieving the loss of a loved one due to cancer. Their innovative program is an essential complement to cancer care, providing support groups, educational lectures, healthy lifestyle workshops and social activities. Traditionally, the program is offered at their Clubhouse in the West Village and medical centers throughout NYC, but currently the program is offered virtually. Over 11,000 individuals are reached annually by the unique program. Gilda’s Club NYC was founded in memory of Gilda Radner, the talented comedienne and first cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL) who passed away in 1989 from ovarian cancer. Gilda’s Club NYC’s iconic red door opened in 1995 to provide a place where cancer patients, their families and their friends can learn to live with cancer, whatever the outcome. At Gilda’s Club NYC, they believe no one should face cancer alone.
