Sanky Blog

Gilda’s Club Westchester (GCW) is a community of people whose lives have been touched by cancer…all types of cancer. And when they decided to fully redesign their website, GCW turned to SankyNet to help capture all the caring they offer members, and put it online.

Our goal was to create a website that was as inviting, warm and comforting as the actual “clubhouse” located in White Plains, New York. But at the same time, we wanted to develop a robust online resource for those currently involved with the organization, as well as those recently diagnosed with cancer and looking for help.

Gilda’s Club Westchester provides support and networking groups, lectures, workshops and social events for men, women, children and teens in a home-like setting. And SankyNet was determined to design a website that would allow visitors to quickly and easily learn about these valuable services.

The new site boasts features that include an expanded calendar of events, information about joining Gilda’s Club and a soon-to-be completed online forum. In addition, SankyNet paid special attention to optimizing the site for online fundraising – this increased revenue will help sustain GCW programs that are provided to members free of charge.

For those of you who know Sanky Communications’ history, our founder Sanky Perlowin passed away from cancer 25 years ago. At the time of her death, there was no Gilda’s Club. Today, we are truly proud to partner with an organization that provides a welcoming community of free support for everyone living with cancer.

We invite you to learn more about Gilda’s Club Westchester by visiting their new website.
