Since its red doors opened in August, of 2008, more than 3,000 adults and children in SW Wisconsin have become members of Gilda’s Club Madison. But what is Gilda’s Club?
Inspired by Saturday Night Live comedian, Gilda Radner who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in October of 1986, Gilda’s Club provides an opportunity for people of all ages touched by cancer—of any kind and at any stage—to join with others to actively involve themselves in building social and emotional support. Support groups are facilitated by licensed mental health professionals but it's the other members who make the biggest impact! The cancer survivors sitting next to each other at dinner share the impact of a stage-IV diagnosis, and the teenagers playing basketball together out behind the clubhouse understand the fear of having a father going through treatment.
Gilda’s Club is a place where members, young and old, can share their experiences, questions, and feelings while playing in the kids’ Noogieland area; participating in support groups; taking part in lectures such as “Your Skin During Cancer Treatment” or workshops such as “Relaxation & Guided Imagery".
The clubhouse is open to members most days and evenings, and membership is FREE. For more information about how to become a member or to take a tour, call 828-8880 or visit Gilda’s Club is located at 7907 UW Health Court in Middleton.
