 A Little Bit of History

Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse, Inc. (WBCS) began with a woman’s passion to defeat breast cancer. Founded in 1998 as an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by then-recent survivor, Nancé Kinney, its mission from the beginning has been to support early-stage breast cancer research. Kinney’s father was later diagnosed with prostate cancer, and WBCS  soon added prostate cancer research as a second important research focus.
