Near-capacity crowds filled the clubhouses to watch the inspiring and sometimes
emotional broadcast. Following are a few of the many highlights of the
events:
- Local CBS, ABC and NBC stations supported the events with live remotes, viewing party footage and interviews.
- Clubhouses teamed up with long-time partners including the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and the Van Andel Research Institute to maximize fundraising efforts and move cancer research forward.
- In one clubhouse, staff members made an SU2C donation in honor of all the cancer survivors in attendance.
- Politicians presented resolutions in appreciation of the social and emotional support provided by Gilda's Club affiliates to so many people living with cancer.
- Clubhouse members took part in special activities including "Stand Up" quilt-making. The quilts will be presented to supporters later this month providing additional media exposure.
