The Spring Match Challenge starts now! Through May 15th, your gift will be matched for twice the impact! Thanks to a generous group of donors, the first $13,000 in gifts will be matched and go twice as far. Your gift of $100 could provide 3 months of care and support for someone impacted by cancer!

Kristin, Gilda's Club member, shares, “I know that every day there are other families experiencing the before and after of cancer, and I desperately want all of them to have the same kind of transformational experience, the sense of community, the sense of being seen and known that my family has gotten through Gilda’s Club.”

Community is always found inside our red doors. Sometimes that looks like people supporting each other through cancer, and sometimes it looks like rolling up your sleeves to help bring a project to life.

With a bit of wood, screws, and sawdust, our mystery project is well on its way ahead of its debut at our Backyard BBQ on June 11th!

We are so incredibly grateful to Brunsell Lumber for their generous donation of materials, and especially to the incredible Mark Packard for going above and beyond by helping with the donation request, assisting with the build plan, and volunteering his time both onsite and behind the scenes to make it all happen… all in 25-degree weather ❄️

This is what community looks like. Thank you, Mark. Thank you, Brunsell. ❤️

Can you guess what’s coming?

The next time you are in the clubhouse, be sure to check out the beautiful glass art honoring our Legacy Circle members!

Thank you to our Legacy Circle members, who have chosen to include Gilda’s Club Wisconsin in their end-of-life giving or estate plans. The care and generosity of this group extends far beyond today, strengthening support for families facing cancer for years to come.

We have to give a special shout-out to two folks who made this project possible: The extremely talented glass artist Lucie Arendt (Lucie Art ), who created this beautiful piece; and our awesome volunteer Bruce Salvo, who helped install it. Thank you for the time, care, and creativity!

If you would like to learn more about Gilda's Legacy Circle, please reach out to Lindsey at lindsey@gildasclubwi.org or (608)828-8862.

Treatment done. Or, almost done. You made it through the shock of discovery, treatment, job changes, hair loss and regrowth. Friends and family came by often – in person, by phone, or by texts. Commotion. But now, cancer is gone – or in (near) remission. Friends and family have mostly returned to their usual activities, and you don’t hear or see from them much. Friends and family no longer expect long answers to the question “How are you?”.

But you don’t feel like you’re “back to normal.” There are two you’s – the Before Cancer you, and the After Cancer you. Nobody tells you this, but there should be two you’s – cancer changes a person. Maybe you were really lucky and your cancer was diagnosed early, removed, with a minimal chance of return. Maybe you weren’t so lucky, and you have a persistent cancer that has changed your body inside and out, and/or there’s a high probability of return. Either way, doesn’t matter. You are still changed.
