New Yorkers living with cancer, and those who support them, can help
fund operations at Gilda’s Club New York City by paying for everyday
purchases with the new Gilda’s Club NYC Visa Platinum card.
Gilda’s Club NYC earns $50 for every activated card, plus an ongoing
share of the monthly charge volume. Proceeds help provide a meeting
place and support activities for people living with cancer, and families
and friends. Gilda's Club is completely free for members. Gilda’s Club
NYC is named for Gilda Radner, the comedian and an original cast member
of Saturday Night Live. Ms. Radner died from ovarian cancer in
1989.
“Most people get a credit card statement every month. The Gilda’s Club
NYC card helps people make a statement every day,” says Lily
Safani, CEO of Gilda’s Club NYC. “By presenting the card in restaurants,
shops, online and elsewhere, supporters help Gilda’s Club provide social
and emotional support to New Yorkers living with cancer, free of charge.”
