The great thing about the Kirkland Taste of the Town is that it benefits everyone, from marketing our great Kirkland Restaurants to raising awareness of the KBA and what we do to bring people together. Our biggest achievement is being able to support our community charities that support children's causes here in our community. This year, the KBA raised approximately $12,000.00 for Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Western Washington. I look forward to next year's Taste and raising even more donations for our friends at Candlelighters.
