We, The Bras Family Foundation have made our first contribution and it’s to Gilda’s Club of Greater Toronto. Specifically our donation has gone to ‘The Teen Ambassador Program’. Now I will stop right here. For those not knowing what Gilda’s Club is, please go to their website - www.gildasclubtoronto.org. But here is a synopsis.
Gilda’s Club is named after the comedienne, ‘Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in May of 1989. In her own search to regain control, hope and laughter, she imagined a place where people touched by cancer could go for social and emotional support. She envisioned a place where fears about treatment and survival could be shared, and where the overwhelming sense of isolation could be overcome’.
‘Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto and Gilda’s Club Worldwide, is to provide a meeting place where men, women, teens, and children living with or affected by cancer, and their families and friends, come together for emotional and social support,as a supplement to their treatment of choice.’
The Bras Family Foundation will not only help to support the Teen Ambassador Program, but it’s Director’s will roll up their sleeves and get involved in some way.
We hope you will share in our excitement of support for Gilda’s Club of Greater Toronto.
