SERVES HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT

 

"Having cancer gave me membership in an elite club I would rather not belong to."

--Gilda Radner

 

     In 2007, a new affiliate of Gilda's Club, a national organization that provides support for cancer victims, opened its doors in Louisville.  Today, there are over twenty Gilda's Clubs in North America offering hope and encouragement to those stricken with cancer. As part of an annual community service project, the Kent School Alumni Council hosted a meal at Gilda's Club for about seventy family members and friends of those who were lost to cancer.  With assistance from Hotel Louisville's Chef Kevin, Kent School Alumni Council members prepared a deliciously appetizing evening breakfast with offerings that included breakfast pizza, eggs, French toast, hash browns, biscuits, sausage and bacon.  Participants reported that Dean Singer proved his culinary prowess as hungry guests queued up for an expertly prepared meal.  Cancer is a ruthless enemy that shows no mercy, but thanks to Gilda's Club and the Kent School Alumni Council hope and encouragement were also on the menu!
