OUR MISSION
AND FUNDING

The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse was founded in 1998 as an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable organization by Nance Kinney, a breast cancer survivor. Its mission is to support breast and prostate cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

The 2009 Showhouse and supporting events realized $300,000 and our Showhouse’s contributions to the Medical College of Wisconsin in 12 years total over $3.8 million. Promising breast and prostate cancer research by past recipients of WBCS grants has led to over $12 million in additional extramural research grants awarded to the Medical College of Wisconsin by the National Institutes of Health and other foundations.

Your participation in our Showhouse For a Cure ensures continuing support of the Medical College’s Cancer Center research efforts.
