Thank you for your support of the 2023 The Big Taste. We hope you had a great evening with us and will plan on returning next year. Please expect a “save the date” announcement for next year’s Big Taste in the near future.
More than 600 people attended this year’s event held at the historic Sandpoint Naval Air Station “Hangar 30” in Seattle’s Magnuson Park, and we as a community raised over $44,000 to benefit Outdoors for All, who provides adaptive and therapeutic recreation for children and adults with disabilities, We Heart Seattle, an action-based, boots-on-the-ground movement that organizes trash cleanups in our public spaces and offers resources to those in need and the University Sunrise Rotary Foundation, which creates positive, lasting change locally and globally through service, investments in the community, and building close relationships.
