Welcoming the Community Back In
This spring, we invite you to join us as we bring back our annual in-person events, gathering once more as a community supporting Gilda’s Club Minnesota’s mission, ensuring no one faces cancer alone. Continue reading Clubhouse News here to hear from Katherine Todd, Executive Director, on our upcoming events and how we are welcoming the community back in.
A Time to Remember
Springtime has historically been a representation of renewal and refresh. The sun is out longer, the skies are brighter, and the fog of winter days start to fade. It’s a time when we clean out all the junk and build-up from the previous year and welcome the newness of Spring. The changing of the seasons is a process, much like grief itself. While navigating the process of grief, honor not only your loved one but yourself. Read the Program News update here with Shaunequa James, Program Director, to learn about upcoming Gilda’s Club programming that will help you honor your loved ones and yourself.
Join us online and in the clubhouse for cancer support programming! See what is coming up on the Program Calendar for April, May and June! Gilda’s Club Minnesota program calendar is released quarterly (every three months).
