Another thing that makes Gilda's Club Chicago special is that membership is free of charge to people living with cancer. Gilda's Club is a not-for-profit organization supported by donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. In order to sustain our unique program, Gilda's Club Board members, staff and volunteers work hard to build a financial foundation that allows us to offer our free program to members. In keeping with our philosophy Gilda's Club does not solicit our membership for donations, although if interested, we welcome member participation. If you, or someone you know, would like to be kept informed about Gilda's Club special events, donation opportunities or other ways to support us, please contact Stephen Majsak stephenmajsak@gildasclubchicago.org.

The Associate Board of Gilda's Club Chicago was formed 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 Board is currently comprised of 80 dedicated individuals from the Chicagoland area. Board members participate in many different ways, such as planning fundraising events, securing publicity and promoting awareness of the organization, and in a variety of other roles as they develop the board. The Associate Board hosts several networking and fundraising events that are open to all.
