Necker’s Jewelers Gift of Giving: Empowering Cancer Survivors at Gilda’s Club QC
At Necker’s Jewelers, we believe that jewelry has the power to symbolize compassion and connection. During the month of June, through our Gift of Giving program, we’re proud to support Cancer Support Community Iowa & NW Illinois at Gilda’s Club—a vital resource providing free cancer support in the Quad Cities.
A Safe Harbor Amidst the Storm
Cancer Support Community (CSC) at Gilda’s Club QC is a lifeline for individuals and families facing the emotional, physical, and social challenges of cancer. For over 25 years, they’ve provided evidence-based programs—ranging from support groups and healthy lifestyle workshops to educational sessions and social activities—all offered completely at no cost.
Their mission is simple but powerful: “Community is stronger than cancer.” It’s more than a tagline—it’s a promise of belonging, healing, and hope.
Comprehensive Support for Every Stage
Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club offers a wide spectrum of programs tailored to meet diverse needs:
- Support Services: Weekly and monthly groups led by mental health professionals—for patients, family members, those grieving, or living with advanced cancer.
- Cancer Companion: A peer-to-peer program that matches individuals with someone who’s walked a similar journey, fostering empathy and understanding.
- Children, Teens & Families: Programs that support young people impacted by cancer and their loved ones.
- Healthy Lifestyle & Educational Activities: From wellness classes to awareness workshops, these programs help individuals manage side effects, reduce stress, and build resilience.
- Virtual & Hybrid Options: Designed for convenience and accessibility—helping people participate from home.
