Volunteers

Volunteers are the core of Gilda’s Club NYC and we would not be able to offer our free program without their time, energy, and commitment. More than 250 volunteers in 2016 supported our program as workshop facilitators, new member meeting facilitators, Noogieland support, administrative help, and event support. Also included in our volunteers are our Board of Directors and Associate Board. We would not be able to accomplish the work we do and provide outreach without their support. 3,465 hours equals an $81,565 savings to Gilda’s Club!

3,465Hours Equals $81,565 in savings Corporate Partners Our corporate partners are an engaged group of companies who believe in TD Five 34 giving back – both in volunteering and in Boro Bike Tour helping to support our program. In 2016 we thank the following for their generous support of GCNYC:
