Bead & Button Show The Bead & Button Show is the largest jewelry and bead show in the nation. Over 370 vendors sell one-of-a-kind finished jewelry plus precious gems, pearls, art beads, gold and silver, beading supplies and books. The show features a juried exhibit of inspiring bead art and over 500 bead and jewelry classes. Funds are raised for breast cancer research through a silent and a live auction. In 2007, the Bead & Button Show doubled their donation to the Medical College from the previous year! More than $58,000 has been contributed to date.
The Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center extends our deepest appreciation to the organizers and participants of the 2008 Bead and Button Show. Over $23,000 was raised through the Show's silent and live auctions, and an additional $5,000 was donated by Kalmbach Publishing for breast cancer research. Thank you!
The 2009 Bead & Button Show will take place May 31 through June 7 at the Midwest Airlines Center. It will be an exciting week of classes, shopping, receptions and, of course, the auctions to benefit cancer research at the Medical College.
