Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee
Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee provides hope to anyone touched by cancer. Hope is a strange word to associate with cancer, but those who walk in our door say they “have a good like with cancer because of Gilda’s.” Today, three of every four Americans will be diagnosed with cancer. In Tennessee alone, there will be an estimated 37,080 new cases of cancer in 2017. And many more are affected than those diagnosed. As the only cancer support agency in Middle Tennessee also benefiting friends and families, Gilda’s Club Middle Tennessee’s mission is to ensure those impacted by cancer (all genders, ages, backgrounds and cancer types) are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.

Inspired by their personal connections to cancer, Gilda’s Club’s Associate Board formed in March 2016, and is made up of young professionals in their twenties and thirties. As one Associate Board Member put it, they are all at an age where their parents are dealing with cancer. The group aims to get the word out about Gilda’s Club, especially among peers; volunteer to help those impacted by cancer; and fundraise for Gilda’s Club’s mission.
