Fundraising Goal:
Each year we encourage participants to fundraise $100 for Gilda’s Club. This helps allow us to provide free support for all people facing the stress and impact of a cancer diagnosis.
Please consider sharing your participant page with family, friends and your community. You would be surprised how much a simple email or social media post encourages folks to donate to a cause you are passionate about.
For brainstorming, fundraising tips or general questions, please contact Rachel at rwasserman@gcmd.org
