Welcome to the Fun Chili Cook-Off website the web host for the annual Fun Chili Cook-Off charity event held each Autumn at The Cork for the benefit of the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund and the Send-a-Kid-To-Camp charity. For more than a decade the volunteer committee for Jonathan’s Fun Chili Cook-Off has put in the work for free to host this tasty event from which all money earned goes directly to the benefit of Send a Kid to Camp as a featured charity of the Arizona Sportsmen’s Fund of Tucson, Arizona.

Congratulations and a great big thank you to Maureen Silvey, our Chairperson for the 2023 event. The dedicated, hard work of Maureen and her team produced a record raise for the Send-a-Kid-To-Camp charitable organization.

The 2023 Event raised $26,000 for the benefit of the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund and the Send-a-Kid-To-Camp charity.

We are already planning for 2024. Watch this page for updates and the scheduled date for the 2024 Cork Fun Chili Cook-Off!

Maureen Silvey will be returning as our reigning fundraising champion and chair for the 2024 event. Maureen and the Committee are underway with planning the 2024 edition of The Cork Fun Chili Cook-Off which will occur as always in early October.

Look for announcements here and on our Facebook page this coming Spring for further announcements concerning The Cork Fun Chili Cook-Off 2024 event. A good time and great chili will be there to be had by all attendees!
