Activities and events are free to members and are offered in a non-residential home-like setting. Gilda's Club is a free social and emotional support community named for Gilda Radner.

Comedy With a Cause' program continues to raise money for charities while changing the face of comedy in South Florida. The program has helped local and national charities find funds and attention for their causes while entertaining audiences at some of South Florida's most prestigious venues.

"Not only have I performed many times to benefit their organization, I've taught an improv class there and we regularly donate tickets for them to raise additional funds. They do amazing work right here in our community and we're happy to do whatever we can to help."
