Who We Are Now

After seven years of serving the community, Gilda’s Club of Evansville rebranded to Cancer Pathways Midwest. In April of 2021, we painted our red door blue and continued helping individuals and families navigate their unique cancer journeys, all free of charge. With “cancer” in the name, our purpose is more obvious. Since the rebrand we have seen an increase in individuals, families, men, women, all ages, all stages and types of cancers seeking support and resources.

Same mission, NEW name.

Our Beginning

When former news anchor and beloved community volunteer, Ann Moore, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2007, she was concerned about the effect it was having on her entire family. Ann became determined to bring emotional and educational support to families who are dealing with the devastation of cancer to the Tri-State area. After visiting Cancer Support Communities in nearby cities, she and her husband, Randy, rallied the Evansville community to bring cancer support to Evansville. Gilda’s Club opened its red door to families in 2014. Through its evolution, our organization has brought hope, love and encouragement to thousands of people throughout our region.

“It’s humbling to realize cancer doesn’t discriminate and it doesn’t stop just because your family is in its prime.” – Ann Moore
