Gilda’s Club Westchester is excited to announce the 2021 Teen Cancer Story Contest, open to teens, aged 13-17, in the Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield counties who want to share their story. We are looking for original, honest, detailed and heartfelt multimedia
submissions by local teens who have been impacted by cancer—whether it is their own diagnosis, a loved one’s diagnosis or the loss of someone due to cancer. Submissions can be in the form of an essay, poetry, artwork or video.
Cash prizes of $250 will be awarded to 1st place winners in each category. Runners-up will also be recognized for each category.
Submissions are due by 5 p.m. on April 16.
For more information and how to submit pieces, visit to https://gildasclubwestchester.org/teen-cancer-story/
The mission of Gilda’s Club Westchester is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by
action and sustained by community. We create welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer—men, women, teens, children and families.
Since 2001, Gilda’s Club Westchester has offered support for people whose lives have been touched by cancer… all types of cancer. It’s a warm, inviting place where everyone can come together to share their experiences. For questions, please email Jaime Aker at jaker@gildasclubwestchester.org or call 914-644-8844. (Submitted)
