What’s Happening at KAB in 2025?
Dolly Parton Valentine Event Recap
Kicking off the year in true KAB style, the Dolly Parton Valentine event on February 14th at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach was a joy-filled, music-packed celebration. This event, organized by the amazing Nena Anderson, marked its third year, and it was extra special. Not only was it a celebration of KAB’s 25th anniversary, but it also honored Nena’s 5-year cancerversary.
The event featured performances of Dolly’s greatest hits by so many talented artists, a Dolly & Kenny look-alike contest, and a breast cast exhibit featuring eight women from the Dolly Valentine performers. All breast casts on display are part of an online auction with 100% of the proceeds benefiting KAB. Check out the gallery here and bid on one of your own!
