The Gilda’s Club NYC Associate Board (AB) hosted their fourth annual Gildie Awards in April, and raised $17,500.

This year the Associate Board honored Cynthia Sansone and Rachel DeMolfetto, Founders of Mondays at Racine. Mondays at Racine  is an in-salon wellness and beauty program that has been taking care of women living with cancer for over twelve years by providing complimentary spa and salon services to individuals with cancer.

AB member and Events Co-Chair, Ashley Sampson, received the Gildie Leadership Award for her outstanding work on the Board.

Guests danced the night away to DJ Vida Ventura and a high energy performance by Temporary Grace. Food and drinks were generously provided by: Relish Catering, Veniero’s Pasticceria & Caffe, Three Wishes Bakery and a sponsored open bar by Diageo. Special thanks also to Starbright Floral Design, T.A.P and Juice Generation.

Keep a look out this summer for the AB’s next social!

The year 2015 will mark a milestone for Gilda’s Club New York City. Twenty years ago in June 1995, we officially opened our Red Door at 195 West Houston Street to the cancer community.

Founded in memory of Gilda Radner by Gene Wilder, psychotherapist Joanna Bull, Mandy Patinkin, Joel Siegel, and other notable friends, Gilda’s Club was created to provide a welcoming and homey space where people of all ages could come together and support one another through their cancer experience.
