Starting March 1, 2026, Gilda’s Club Chicago will be making a few updates to our program schedules across the Downtown Clubhouse, Advocate Christ Medical Center (ACMC), Lurie Cancer Center, and the Virtual Clubhouse.
To continue offering high-quality programming and keep all of our services free of charge, we’re reallocating resources to balance the year’s budget. These updates are designed to help us stay sustainable, consistent, and focused on what matters most: showing up for our community with care and compassion.
We also encourage you to download the full schedules of recurring programming for each of our locations below. You can always view the most up-to-date schedule on our website at gildasclubchicago.org/calendar.
And don’t forget, many of your favorite programs are available on-demand, so you can participate whenever it works best for you.
We’re incredibly grateful to have you as part of our community. We’ve also received a few questions about how Gilda’s Club Chicago is able to keep programs free and accessible. That’s made possible by the generosity of our donors, and you can learn more about those efforts here:

Thank you for your flexibility and for being part of this community. We remain deeply committed to offering welcoming, supportive, and high-quality programming for everyone impacted by cancer.
Community is Stronger Than Cancer.

Policy Updates
New Monthly Group Policy
To help ensure a meaningful group experience, we’re introducing a new policy for monthly groups: if a group has fewer than the minimum number of required registrants 24 hours prior, that session will be cancelled. We encourage you to register early to help keep groups running as scheduled.
Cancellations notifications will send via email.
