We truly appreciate your consideration for including Gilda's Club Madison in your 2025 giving! This year, more than 40,000 of our co-workers, families, and friends around Wisconsin will hear the words, "You have cancer." These words can be devastating. But with Gilda's Club by their side, we can make this journey together.

This sophisticated, yet casual event draws an audience of Gilda’s Club donors and friends, as well as corporate and community leaders. Held in the backyard of the clubhouse, this event features BBQ, adult beverages, live music, and live auction and raffle packages. This event draws tv, radio, and print marketing and offers networking opportunities with leaders in our local community.
