Corporate Partnerships & Cause-Related Marketing Opportunities

Gilda’s Club New York City (GCNYC) works with corporations to create customizable sponsorship opportunities. Corporations can choose to support specific programs for specific cancer diagnoses (such as lung or breast cancer), GCNYC’s support groups, Noogie Nights, publications such as Gilda’s Club New York City’s e-Gildagram, or one of our many special events.

Gilda’s Club New York City has worked with many corporations on successful cause-related marketing collaborations including Barnes & Noble,
La Mer Collections, and Lierac to name just a few.

Current Corporate Partnerships

Gilda’s Club New York City gratefully acknowledges the partners listed below for their support:

The Barnes & Noble Community Relations Program supports the fundraising efforts of Gilda’s Club New York City by providing our volunteers with the opportunity to gift-wrap for donations in local stores throughout the year. Barnes & Noble gift-wrapping helps GCNYC raise funds that support our program and provides the opportunity for outreach in the local community.

Our partner, Cars4Causes, makes it easy. Your charitable donation of a car, van, boat, motorcycle will make a world of difference for members touched by cancer and at the same time provide you with an IRS tax deduction.  70% of the net sale amount will come back to our clubhouse. For questions, click on their logo or call 800-766-CARE (2273).

GCNYC is grateful for the volunteer performers of Cherub Improv, who have provided uplifting and entertaining performances for our members (including at our December 2007 holiday party), conducted several educational and interactive improv workshops for adults and separately for children (as part of the Noogieland program) and who participated in our Laughter for Life week during the Summer of 2008.

Through the EIF's annual Revlon Run/Walk for Women in New York City, funding is provided for Gilda’s Club New York City's innovative program creating welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer.  GCNYC has been a proud and grateful beneficiary since the inaugural walk in 1998. Funding has been used to help reach an expanding and more diverse membership of women living with cancer in New York City.

Gilda's Club NYC is grateful to the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut Lexus Dealers for their generous support of our free cancer support community.  Our members are able to receive the emotional and social support they need in great part due to the support of our local Lexus dealers, and they have graciously agreed to continue this partnership through 2013.
