The Heartbeat of Pinktacular

The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Pinktacular Luncheon succeeds because it is more than a fundraiser. It is a space where creativity meets compassion, where fashion lifts up survivors, and where every participant, whether on the runway or in the audience, feels part of something bigger than themselves.

The Pinktacular transforms the idea of a fashion show from a fleeting display into a powerful act of solidarity. Guests leave inspired and moved, carrying a renewed determination to help create a world where fewer people face cancer’s challenges.

In Wisconsin’s vibrant charity event landscape, the Pinktacular Luncheon stands apart. The moment you enter, you can feel the room’s heartbeat. For the Showhouse designers, it is a chance to be surrounded by the very heart of the cause they pour their talent into. Faces of survivors, their families, and their supporters fill the room, each one a living reminder of why every late night and creative detail mattered. In those moments, the beauty they have built becomes more than décor; it becomes a backdrop for healing, connection, and purpose.

This event offers designers a rare gift: to see their work as part of a much larger story and to feel, firsthand, its impact on a cause so deeply worth fighting for. Watching survivors take the stage, some nervous, some beaming, and others playful with gratitude, reaffirms that their efforts truly make a difference. It is about connection, self-expression, and moments that matter.

News anchor Joyce Garbaciak will once again graciously serve as emcee. Each year, she delivers a heartfelt speech paired with lively commentary, sharing survivors’ stories and celebrating the fashion itself. The Pinktacular takes guests on an emotional journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, and a renewed appreciation for life’s deeper meaning.
