Last Month, Alderman Reilly visited Gilda’s Club of Chicago to present them with a City Council Resolution,\u00a0celebrating the organization’s impressive work in providing free support for men, women, teens, and children,\u00a0whose lives have been impacted by cancer.<\/p>\n

Gilda’s Club was named after Gilda Radner, one of the original cast members of “Saturday Night Live.” Laughter\u00a0and love were central themes of Gilda’s career and life, including in her marriage to actor and comedian Gene\u00a0Wilder, the original Willy Wonka.\u00a0Gilda was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1985. She passed away in 1989,\u00a0but her legacy lived on when her husband and friends established Gilda’s Club and the first red door opened in\u00a0New York City in 1995.<\/p>\n

Gilda’s Club Chicago opened its welcoming Red Door at 537 N. Wells on Valentine’s Day in 1998, and since then\u00a0they have reached more than 45,000 individuals.<\/p>\n
