No One Should Face Cancer Alone.
Every day, people in our community hear the words, “You have cancer.” In that moment, life changes—not only for the person diagnosed, but for their family, friends, and loved ones.
At Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka, we make sure no one has to navigate that journey alone.
We provide professionally facilitated support groups, educational workshops, children’s programs, wellness activities, and a welcoming community where people impacted by cancer can find hope, connection, and understanding—all completely free of charge.
We believe emotional and social support should never come with a price tag. That’s why every program we offer is available at no cost to anyone in Simcoe Muskoka whose life has been touched by cancer.
Unlike many organizations, we receive no government funding. Every conversation, every support group, every children’s program, and every moment of hope is made possible by the generosity of people like you.
Your donation does more than fund programs—it keeps our doors open for the next family who needs us.
Together, we can ensure that no one in our community has to face cancer alone.
One-Time Donation
No matter the size of the donation, big or small, it can help give information, education, and the support needed to people living with cancer in our community.
Monthly Donation – Gilda’s Givers
Gilda’s Givers are monthly donors who make a powerful investment in our Cancer Support Programs. Big or small, any size of donation goes a long way.
In Memoriam & In Honour
Making a donation in memory of a loved one or friend who has passed creates a legacy. A donation made in honour of someone can be done through celebrating a special occasion such as a wedding, anniversary, birthday etc.
