Taste of Wisconsin™ is produced by the Kiwanis Club of Western Kenosha as a major fundraiser for local charities. Its fundraising efforts are dedicated to providing a better quality of life for our area’s youth, elderly and disadvantage through programs such as Terrific Kids and Youth Baseball, and providing much needed funding to The Shalom Center’s shelter and food pantry programs. Sponsor support is a critical element in the production of Taste of Wisconsin, as all proceeds in excess of operational expenses benefit our chosen charities. We hope you will consider joining us in 2010 for this annual, most tasteful event in Kenosha!
