When and where is Luminaries of Hope?
Saturday, February 6, 2027, at The Edgewater Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin. Cocktails begin at 6:00 PM, followed by dinner and evening entertainment. The event concludes at approximately 9:00 PM.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is evening attire. We invite guests to dress for an elegant night out while joining us for a meaningful cause.
What’s included in my $250 ticket?
Your $250 ticket includes the cocktail reception, dinner, classical music, an evening of entertainment featuring magician Tristan Crist, and the full Luminaries of Hope program. Most importantly, your attendance helps support cancer patients in Dane County who are experiencing financial hardship during active treatment.
How many tickets are available, and when do sales close?
Seating is limited and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticket sales will remain open until the event reaches capacity or until the announced ticket-sale deadline. We encourage guests to reserve early.
How will I receive my tickets?
After your purchase is completed, you will receive an email confirmation. Your reservation will also be included on our event guest list, so there is no need to bring a physical ticket unless otherwise instructed.
I’m buying for guests. Do I need their names now?
No. You may purchase tickets for your guests now and provide their names later. We will contact you before the event if we need any additional guest information for seating or check-in.
Can I get a refund if I can’t attend?
Because Luminaries of Hope is a charitable fundraising event, ticket purchases are generally non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another guest by notifying us before the event.
How can I pay?
Tickets and sponsorships may be purchased using the payment options available through our event registration page. If you would prefer to pay by check or another method, please contact the Dane County Cancer Coalition and we will be happy to assist you.
What are the Tribute Luminary and Memorial Portrait?
These are special opportunities to honor, celebrate, or remember someone whose life has been touched by cancer. A Tribute Luminary recognizes someone special through a personalized luminary displayed as part of the evening. A Memorial Portrait provides a more prominent tribute honoring the memory of a loved one and their story. Additional submission instructions will be provided after purchase.
Is Dane County Cancer Coalition a nonprofit?
Yes. The Dane County Cancer Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization launched in April 2026. We provide financial assistance to Dane County residents undergoing active cancer treatment who are struggling with essential living expenses such as rent, utilities, food, transportation, and other necessary bills.
I can’t attend. Can I still help?
Absolutely. You can still make a meaningful difference by making a donation, becoming a sponsor, purchasing a Tribute Luminary or Memorial Portrait, or sharing the event with others. Every contribution helps us provide direct assistance to cancer patients and families in Dane County.
Is parking available?
Yes. The Edgewater Hotel offers ample self-parking as well as valet parking, both available for an additional charge.
