Save the Date | Community Is Stronger Than Cancer Day
On Tuesday, June 28, we will unite with our fellow Cancer Support Community, Gilda’s Club, and healthcare partners for the first-ever Community Is Stronger than Cancer Day. The celebration date coincides with the birthday of Saturday Night Live star Gilda Radner, whose cancer experience inspired the creation of Gilda’s Club. In 2009, Gilda’s Clubs and The Wellness Community merged to form the Cancer Support Community. To this day, Gilda’s legacy lives on in our spaces.
We are proud to be part of a global network of 175 locations, forming a community of people dedicated to helping those whose lives have been touched by cancer. If the past couple of years have taught us anything, it’s that we can’t underestimate the importance of community when facing crisis and uncertainty.
As you have experienced, people who walk through our doors find free emotional support, healthy lifestyle activities, social connection, education, and referral services provided with compassion and expertise. We offer opportunities for individuals living with cancer to raise their voices in our local community and beyond by joining forces with our partners to advocate on the state and national levels. Individuals also have chances to contribute to important research that inspires positive change in cancer care and the patient experience.
Ready to get involved? Follow us on social media for the latest updates and then on June 28, help us raise awareness of our free support services for everyone impacted by cancer. Share our messages with family and friends by forwarding the celebration email and/or posting our social media messages with hashtags #CelebrateCSCGC #CommunityIsStrongerThanCancer.
Thank you for helping show that Community is Stronger than Cancer.
