Living with Cancer is a Family Experience
Dear Supporters,
Each year there are over 37,000 New Yorkers who are newly diagnosed with cancer – men,
women, teens and children. With each diagnosis, there is also a loved one – a parent, a husband
or wife, a daughter or son, a friend or partner – who is now living with cancer. At Gilda’s Club New
York City, we believe that living with cancer is a family experience.
Our innovative and comprehensive support program is growing 20% annually. Each month
our members come to our West Houston Clubhouse and our satellites in the Bronx, Brooklyn and
Manhattan to attend over 100 support and networking groups, 5-7 educational lectures and
25-30 workshops. This does not include our many social events which bring our members together,
like Noogiefest (our Halloween party), our Winter Wonderland Celebration and our Remembrance
Gathering. We are experts in creating welcoming communities of cancer support for the entire
family – 100% free of charge.
2012 has been an exciting year for GCNYC. There have been many new initiatives:
Amigos Unidos – our bilingual Spanish support program; Teens Connect for teens living with a
parent diagnosed with cancer or who have lost a parent to cancer; Gilda’s Study Corner, where
trained volunteers help children with their homework prior to attending a Noogie Night support
group; Camp Sparkle, our special day camp for children who are touched by cancer; and our
Junior Associate Board for teens who want to volunteer and help our special community.
They are all helping to build an even stronger community. This year we have also expanded our
Gilda Comes to You satellites to reach New Yorkers in the neighborhoods where they live. Four
of our six satellites are now located at hospitals: Montefiore-Einstein Medical Center, Kings County
Hospital Center, Bellevue Hospital, and Roosevelt Hospital (our newest satellite location). Our
satellite support programs represent 36% of our total support program.
All of this would not be possible without the support of our large community of members,
dedicated staff, committed volunteers and generous donors. Your commitment to our mission has
helped to ensure that thousands of New Yorkers will not have to face cancer alone. Thank you for
generously supporting GCNYC to help us meet the growing needs of our cancer community.

Our Mission
Gilda’s Club New York City creates welcoming
communities of free psychosocial support for
everyone living with cancer – men, women,
teens and children – along with their families
and friends. Our innovative program provides
an essential complement to medical care,
providing support and networking groups,
educational lectures, workshops and social
activities – all free of charge.

Thanks to our generous supporters,
Gilda’s Club NYC continues to offer
its program free to members.
Camp Sparkle – a special place
for children offered when school
is not in session. In addition to
Noogieland and Teens Connect,
GCNYC had a successful first year
of Camp Sparkle – offering 6
weeks of fun themes, specialized
workshops, field trips and lots of
laughter to 30 children during
breaks from school in February,
April, July, and August.

Our Satellites
We know it can be difficult for some to travel.
There are times when members can’t get
to our Clubhouse – so Gilda’s Club NYC
created a satellite network of community
partners to be sure we reach as many New
York City residents as possible. Thanks
to the generosity of The Greater NYC
Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure,
Kings County Hospital and others, we’ve
expanded our outreach and continue
to expand so that Gilda’s Club NYC will
be in all five boroughs and in as many
communities as needed.

No one really wants to be
a member of Gilda’s Club,
but for those who are living
with cancer as well as those
affected by cancer, we are a
safe haven. A place to share
stories, receive support, learn
new things, and make new
friends. Here at Gilda’s Club
NYC, we are family.

the time; they just have the heart.

Our Volunteers
A volunteer is a special person - one who
dedicates their valuable time to helping
others. At Gilda’s Club, we are grateful
for the generous support and kindness
that they show to our members and to
our staff. Volunteers play a vital role
in our program and are a much valued
asset to our community.
Why I Volunteer
I was once a member here and found
that Gilda’s really helped me through
a rough time in my life - I wanted to
give back in some way. Over the years
I volunteered at various events… I
met a lot of wonderful people in the
clubhouse. I will always continue to
volunteer for Gilda’s because I believe in
what they stand for and what they do.
Gilda Radner wanted a place like this
for everyone who needed it. There really
isn’t any place like it where everyone
can go instead of separate organizations.

April 26 Associate Board “The Gildies”
Our Associate Board held its First Annual
Gildies – A Celebration of Hope, Laughter
and Courage at the Cutting Room. We were
thrilled to honor Matthew Zachary, Erin
Zammett Ruddy & Melissa Zammett Gonzalez,
and GCNYC member, Millie Gonzalez. The
evening was hosted by DJ Lubel and music by
Lifted Crew & DJ Enuff. The Gildies raised over
$26,000 and was attended by 230 supporters.
February 2 Donor Appreciation
The GCNYC Board of Directors hosted our
second Donor Appreciation Reception to
thank our growing family of supporters. The
event recognized 30 new individuals and
organizations who were added to our Donor
Wall, for their commitment to our mission and
support of our program.
The Year
May 5 EIF/Revlon Run/Walk
For the 15th year GCNYC has been a proud
and grateful beneficiary of the EIF Revlon
Run/Walk for Women. We had an exuberant
46-person team who walked from Times
Square to Central Park in support of raising
awareness and funds to keep our program free
for members. Thirty volunteers lent a hand in
Times Square and Central Park. As a beneficiary
of the walk, GCNYC received $57,000 to
support its program.
May 6 TD Bike Tour
We were very excited to have 16 enthusiastic team
members participate in the 2012 TD Bank 5 Boro
Bike Tour, raising $15,176. Physical Equilibrium
LLC generously volunteered their time and
services to lead our team training again this year!
We welcome back our coach Sarah Currie, from
Physical Equilibrium, who led one practice group
ride for the group.
November 4 ING NYC Marathon
Unfortunately, our marathon team did not
compete in the 2012 marathon due to the
enormous storm, Hurricane Sandy, which
pummeled the east coast. We are very proud
to report that many of our team members
volunteered their time, on November 4, to help
others who were affected by the storm. Our
team raised more than $100,000 in support
of GCNYC – a new record. The marathoners
will have an opportunity to race in the
2013 marathon.

Annual Report
2012
“All those people who have
become friends, all different
ages, all at different stages
of cancer, all fighting. How
brave we all are together. I just felt them all
around me and it made me be braver. The same
way people in gangs can do things that the
individual could never do alone, the gang of us
fighting cancer makes us all stronger.”
