Gilda’s Club Rochester Opportunities for Involvement
Our mission is to create a warm and welcoming community of free emotional and social support for everyone living with cancer—men, women, teens and children—along with their families and friends. Our innovative program is an essential complement to medical care, providing networking and support groups, workshops, educational and social activities. We are here to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community.
Gilda’s Club Rochester Our Mission and Vision
Why Choose Gilda’s Club?
We are ….
All programs provided by Gilda’s Club are available at no cost, thanks to the generosi ty of individuals and community par tners l ike you. Your support allows us to help our friends, families, and neighbors cope with the impact of a cancer diagnosis.
The Value of our Work: Benefits of Emotional &
Psychosocial Support Gilda’s Club Rochester fills an extremely important niche on the c a n c e r c a r e c o n t in u u m . O ur Customized Member Plan, Distress Assessment Tool and our ongoing support programs are significant resources that Gilda’s Club provides as part of our proven care model and our partnership within the Greater Rochester community.
In recent studies, cancer patients who receive psychosocial
support experience:
56% increase in quality of life and survival rates
50% reduction of recurrence
50% decrease of depression, anxiety and isolation After a median of 11 years, 66% of women with breast cancer who received psychosocial intervention had positive health
benefits and were found to be disease free.
Unique. Gilda’s Club Rochester Free Social and Emotional Support
Our programs are designed for the whole family, not just for the person living with cancer
Gilda’s Club is for anyone facing any kind of cancer and their caregivers
We serve more than 1,200 men, women, teens and children touched by cancer
All dollars raised stay in our community to directly support families facing cancer
June 17, 2011. I was at work to keep busy from thinking about my
biopsy the day prior. My husband and I were hoping that the call would
be good news. Instead it threw our lives into a whirlwind of
appointments and testing. I had stage IIB Invasive Ductal Carcinoma,
Breast Cancer. How could this be? We had family summer vacations planned;
a trip to Disney; I was only 36! The feeling upon receiving that call is
something beyond words. Chemotherapy started 10 days after I was
diagnosed; I had a double mastectomy right before Thanksgiving. More
unexpected news: 1 out of 4 lymph nodes had cancer. Now radiation
was on the table, more surgery, and months of treatments. This is when
I realized my children, then ages 10, 7, 4, and 1, needed help through
this life "hiccup" as much as I did.
Many organizations support the diagnosed person, and possibly their
spouse, but to find a place that supports whole families with any type of
cancer is amazing. This is Gilda's Club. They helped me through
support groups, where I met people who have traveled a similar
journey. After just one visit to the clubhouse, and to Noogieland, I could
see in the faces of my children happiness that had been missing. Even
when no words about this disease were spoken, they found comfort in being around peers that were dealing with a
story similar to theirs. My husband and I have had accomplishments we would have never dreamed of because of
Gilda's Club’s support. Together we completed the 2012 Rochester Half Marathon with Gilda's Gang, just 5 months
after I finished radiation.
It still shocks me to think that I have my own cancer story. It is not only a disease fought by the diagnosed, but by all
who love them. Fighting cancer goes on after treatment finishes, and this is why Gilda's Club is so important to our
family. The physical, mental, and emotional support has relieved us of stress and worry.
With all of the free programs they offer, we did not have to choose to participate if we could afford it – we could come
as much as we needed at no cost to us. We will forever be indebted to Gilda's for their support and love of our family.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. In 2016 we had over 360 volunteers assist Gilda’s Club Rochester with program, administra-tive needs and working at various events.
One of the key ways in which successful companies engage their employees is through volunteerism. These companies sponsor or facilitate opportunities for employees to work in the i r com m uni t ies as p rou d representatives of their employers — doing work they are excited about, creating tangible impact, and wearing the company brand.
Gilda’s Club Rochester offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. Your time and talent can be put to use in many wonderful ways, including:
Answering the phones
Door greeters
Administrative tasks/mailings
Program Assistants
Community Chefs dinner
Baking treats for various groups or programs
Volunteerism How Your Employees Can Give Back
Next year, more than 4,500 of our friends, family and neighbors around Rochester will hear the words, “You have cancer.” These words can be devastating. But with Gilda’s Club by their side, we can make this journey together. Your gift makes our work possible. Every gift counts and your support makes a world of a difference for so many men, women, teens, and kids whose lives have been touched by cancer.
