Planned Giving Spotlight

NEW! The Planned Giving Advisory Council is comprised of a select group of local professionals who have expressed a commitment to Gilda’s Club Desert Cities and whose experience is well suited to assist in an advisory capacity. Council members act as advocates by keeping informed of our cancer support programs and planned giving opportunities, and actively disseminating that information within the community at large.
