Gilda's Club Kansas City

Gilda's Club Kansas City

Gilda's Club Kansas City provides a free support community for men, women and children diagnosed with cancer, as well as their families and close friends.

Mission

The mission of Gilda’s Club is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community. Gilda's Club provides a meeting place where men, women and children living with cancer, along with their families and friends, join with others to build emotional and social support as an essential complement to medical care.

Free of charge and non-profit, Gilda's Club offers support and networking groups, lectures, workshops and social events in a non-residential, homelike setting. Gilda’s Club Kansas City joins a network of international clubhouses guided by the Cancer Support Community, which shares best practices, spreads innovation, and imparts the lessons learned in order to continually improve the Gilda’s Club program. As an affiliate of the Cancer Support Community, Gilda's Club Kansas City benefits from being a part of a large network yet is a separate entity, and all funds raised locally, stay locally.

In addition to in-person support through Gilda's Club Kansas City, people impacted by cancer in the Greater Kansas City area can also access support online. The Cancer Support Community provides an Online Community to bring the experience of the local Wellness Community or Gilda's Club to you through the Internet 24 X 7.
