Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey (Gilda’s Club NNJ) recently raised nearly $10,000 at its first annual Holiday Luncheon held at The Brownstone in Paterson.

The benefit featured a silent auction, where attendees could bid on a range of prizes, including yoga classes, salon services, massages, gym memberships, wine tasting parties and more.

Gilda’s Club Northern New Jersey is a cancer-support community serving North Jersey and southern Rockland County, and is part of an international network of affiliate clubhouses anchored by Gilda’s Club Worldwide. All services at the Hackensack-based clubhouse, from lectures and workshops to support groups and social events, are open to anyone – men, women, children and teens – who has been touched in any way by cancer, and are completely free of charge.
