Through the generosity of Charles & Karlyn Boppell, the Gilda's on the Go van takes Gilda's Club programs offsite to those in areas that may lack transportation to the Cathedral City Clubhouse.
Programs during the 2012-13 fiscal year were offered in Spanish at the Jerry Rummonds Memorial Senior and Community Center in Thermal, and support groups were held for members living at Sun City, Palm Desert. Since 2008, Gilda's mental health pro-fessionals have also been traveling throughout the Valley to offer presen- tations at businesses, schools, and community organizations.
