A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our year-end match challenge! Thanks to you, we met all four of our matching goals, and collectively you contributed over $130,000- 14% of our needed budget for the year!

Because of your generosity, you have made so much possible! Therapeutic art workshops, healthy cooking classes, support groups, educational workshops, yoga, adventures in the outdoors, kids programming, and so much more are available for anyone touched by cancer.

Most importantly, you have helped create a community where no one has to face cancer alone.

A member recently shared, "I do believe that Gilda's Club saved my life. I was at my breaking point when I decided to go for the first time...I longed for someone to say I get it or just nod in agreement. There were times I was allowed to just quietly cry. The space was safe and nobody stopped me from being where I was emotionally. I learned cancer is a journey. Many highs, lows and every emotion possible. And nobody is meant to go through cancer alone."

Thank you for making sure that anyone touched by cancer can find a supportive, safe community. You prove that community is stronger than cancer!

Happy New Year from Gilda's Club!

Because of you, 2025 was a year filled with compassion, support, and hope for families touched by cancer. More than 1,300 folks impacted by cancer joined our programs throughout the year- a 21% increase over 2024. More and more individuals across Wisconsin are finding our community, and that wouldn't be possible without you. And we're hoping to reach even more folks touched by cancer in 2026!

Whether you are a Gilda's Club member, a volunteer, or support us philanthropically- you are what makes this a growing, thriving community available at no cost to anyone touched by cancer.

One member recently shared, "Gilda's is a place of hope and support. The care and compassion they show each person is such a blessing. During the moments of uncertainty and sadness they shine with comfort and the light of hope."

Thank you for being that light of hope for so many in our community. You prove that community is stronger than cancer!

It's the last day to have your gift matched for twice the impact!

Our first two pools of matching dollars have already been met, but a group of donors will match the next $4,000 in donations through December 31st. This means that your gift of $100 could provide THREE FULL MONTHS of support for a Wisconsinite facing what is likely the biggest challenge of their lives!

Please consider making a gift today: www.GildasClubMadison.org/Donate

Your gift will ensure that no one in Wisconsin has to face cancer alone.

Thank you to everyone who has already given to the match challenge! You make this warm, welcoming community possible.

Your gift will support Wisconsinites touched by cancer like Adam. “I felt like I was losing control of my life,” Adam. “I lost my identity- I couldn’t do the basic things I was used to doing.”

Adam knew that he and his children needed more support. So, they joined Gilda’s Club. They started coming to Family Night each Tuesday. They ate a meal prepared by volunteers before going into their separate areas- a support group for Adam, and Kid Support for the kids.

“There was just this incredible sense of community and togetherness. A feeling of inclusion,” Adam remembers. “Getting to hear from people in all different parts of their cancer journey was really remarkable.”

Cancer changes life in lasting ways. But, with your support, you can help others learn how to live with and beyond their cancer.

Thank you to everyone who has already given to the match challenge! You make this warm, welcoming community possible.

Last week, Gilda's Club members gathered in the art room for Therapeutic Art: Wreath Making. Each member chose their own form of wreath and their own materials for a unique design.

During the class, led by art therapist Molly Linn-Miller, the group discussed the challenges of the stresses of the season added to worries around cancer, and how to use mindfulness to help ease these stresses. Attendees commented on how much they were able to push those worries aside as they focused on their creations.

Be sure to check the program calendar for upcoming art workshops: www.GildasClubMadison.org/Calendar.

For Adam, going through treatment derailed every aspect of his life. “It was really hard, kind of this immense feeling of overwhelm,” Adam remembers. “I remember sitting there thinking ‘I can’t do this.’”

“I felt like I was losing control of my life,” he continues. “I lost my identity- I couldn’t do the basic things I was used to doing.”

You know the importance of having a community of support after hearing those frightening words, "You have cancer." You understand the whirlwind of logistics and emotions that someone faces when they realize their whole world has turned upside-down.

And, now, thanks to a group of generous donors, your gift can be matched and go twice as far! Our first two pools of matching dollars have already been met, but a group of donors will match the next $5,000 in donations through December 31st. This means that your gift of $100 could provide THREE FULL MONTHS of support for a Wisconsinite facing what is likely the biggest challenge of their lives!

Adam knew that he and his children needed more support. They needed to find a sense of normalcy amidst all of the disruption. So, they joined Gilda’s Club.

“There was just this incredible sense of community and togetherness. A feeling of inclusion,” Adam remembers. “Getting to hear from people in all different parts of their cancer journey was really remarkable.”
