Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto

Imagine A PLACE…

Where you and your family and friends can gather to explore the journey of cancer in a relaxed, home-like setting.

That place is Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto.

Together, members SHARE their experiences, FEEL the empowerment of social interaction, and REJOICE in the renewed energy that community brings.

Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto is a place where women, men, teens and children with cancer, their families and friends, can join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to one’s treatment of choice.

Whether you’re looking for an understanding ear, a chance to laugh, or an informational resource, Gilda’s Club is the place to learn how to live with cancer, whatever the outcome.

Gilda’s Club also welcomes long-term cancer survivors and those who have lost someone to cancer. Our philosophy is based on the belief that a diagnosis of cancer affects the whole family, as well as friends, and that no one should have to face cancer alone.

Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto is a non-profit, registered charitable organization. We are funded by donations from individuals, foundations and corporations.

There are many ways to give. You can make a donation online, be part of our monthly giving program, donate a single sum in celebration or in memory of a loved one, or leave a bequest in your will – every gift helps.

You may also wish to donate your time, participate in one of our fundraising events, or organize your own fundraiser for us. Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto provides many meaningful ways for you to get involved.

Gilda Radner

Gilda’s Club, named for comedienne Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Live fame, was created because of Gilda’s wish that no one should face cancer alone. After Gilda’s death from ovarian cancer in 1989, co-founders Joanna Bull and Gene Wilder began the process of launching the first Gilda’s Club in New York City in 1995. Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto opened its doors in October 2001.
