All Hands on Deck!
Due to continued Covid concern, we could not gather for in-person fundraising events, including our famous Gilda’s Club Annual Breakfast. This has left us with a budget gap. We need your help to close it so that in 2022 we can continue to run both the in-person and virtual clubhouses while achieving our program goal of expanding our membership to help more Minnesotans facing cancer than ever before. Help us achieve this goal by donating today so that in 2022 we can hit the ground running! Read the Development News corner to learn more about how you can help, including new ways to get involved!
