Gilda's Club Metro Detroit is a free, non-residential cancer support community in Royal Oak founded by eight committed women whose lives were touched by cancer. The signature "red door" to our beautifully restored clubhouse opened in 1998.

Gilda's Legacy
Gilda's Club is named in honor of the late comedian and former Detroiter Gilda Radner. Her dream was to create places where people living with cancer and their families and friends could gather to support one another and celebrate life. The dream found fulfillment with the opening of Gilda's Club New York City in 1995. Since that time, Gilda's Clubs have been opening around North America.

Mission
To create a community where men, women and children with all types of cancer and their families and friends can enhance the quality of their lives through support, networking and education.

Goal
To provide a home-like meeting place and free program where anyone living with cancer can: build friendships, share the collective wisdom of experience, and develop strategies for living with cancer.

Philosophy
Emotional and social support are as essential as medical care when cancer is in the family, not only for those living with cancer but also for their families and friends. Support received by joining with others who are also living with cancer enables people to live their lives to the fullest, no matter the outcome. No one should ever have to face cancer alone.

Membership
The Gilda's Club program is free of charge. Call and inquire about weekly New Member Meetings that include an overview of the program and a tour of the clubhouse. Meetings take place every Wednesday and Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Once you become a member, you will receive a monthly calendar that lists all program activities.

A free, non-profit support community for anyone touched by cancer.
