Live from QC…It’s Saturday Nite! For The Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club

It's the biggest fundraiser and party of the year for the Cancer Support Community of the Quad Cities, and they want to see you there on March 28.

The Cancer Support Community at Gilda’s Club supports those in our community who are living with cancer. Iowa's cancer rate is once again the fastest rising in the country.  And the Cancer Support Community uses the funds raised to support those in our community impacted by cancer.

The night honors Gilda Radner, who understood that laughter is the best medicine, and is the inspiration behind Gilda’s Club.  Get your ticket for the Gala here, which will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, a comedy show, and live music.

Cancer Support Community at Gilda's Club

While Iowa lawmakers are proposing tax raises on tobacco to research cancer, the Cancer Support Community is offering this space for patients and families, but only because of your donations.

Live Comedy at The Gala

Laughter is the best medicine, and comedian Brad Upton will be there to provide the laughs.  He made several cable TV appearances in the early 90’s, headlined comedy clubs from coast to coast, opened for big-name music acts, and was hired to perform at corporate events. He never sought the brighter lights of LA or New York and chose instead to remain based in Seattle, where he and his wife of 35 years raised their now 28-year old son and 26–year old daughter, and he could continue his offstage hobby.

Live Music at The Gala

The Funktastic 5 will get you off your seats as they play their wide variety of music from rock, pop, jazz, blues, and R&B. Current members William “Whistle” Jones, Bret Dale, Kindred Priest, and Tony Carton have performed for countless weddings, corporate events, private parties, bar/restaurant events, and block parties.

While the health of our community stays in the headlines (Read More:  Two Iowa Rivers Impaired Due To Nitrates), the Cancer Support Community is making sure all funds raised stay local to support the NO COST programs and services provided.
