The Associate Board of Gilda´s Club Chicago was formed in 2003 for the purpose of supporting the mission of Gilda´s Club Chicago through fundraising and public relations. The mission of Gilda´s Club Chicago is to provide a meeting place where people with cancer, families and friends, join with others to build social and emotional support as a supplement to medical care. The goal of Gilda´s Club Chicago is to help people learn to live full and productive lives with cancer. The organization came about as a result of comedian Gilda Radner´s (Saturday Night Live) experience with ovarian cancer, and her longing for a place where people with cancer could find camaraderie and support. Gilda´s Club Chicago is open to all – regardless of income, gender, ethnicity, type or stage of cancer, or geographic location. Associate Board members participate in a wide variety of activities to support the Club´s free cancer support community, such as fundraising events, securing publicity and promoting awareness of the organization.
