DAVENPORT, IOWA (June 25, 2026) — Cancer Support Community Iowa and NW Illinois invites families to take a Stay-Cation at Gilda’s Club Davenport! Spend a morning as a family, enjoying brunch, taking a ukulele lesson, and taking pictures with characters visiting from University of Iowa’s Moment of Magic on July 11, 10AM-12PM, at 1351 West Central Park Ave, Suite 200, Davenport.

Who says you need a plane ticket to have a blast? Join us for a morning of free, family friendly fun!

We’re hosting a "Stay-Cation" themed event to help families impacted by cancer connect and make memories. The itinerary for this stay-cation includes:

  • Brunch
  • Ukulele class (11-12PM)
