Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse was founded in 1998 as an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Its mission is to support breast and prostate cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Since its founding, the Showhouse’s contributions to the Medical College of Wisconsin total $3.5 million. The Showhouse raises funds year-round through a variety of unique and exciting events. The center of these events is the Showhouse for a Cure. Dozens of local interior designers, landscape artists and artisans contribute substantial time, talent and furnishings to make each Showhouse spectacular.
