The Cork Tucson Fun Chili Cook-Off

Visit Us on Facebook!

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 to benefit the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund and the Send-a-Kid-To-Camp charity. For more than a decade the volunteer committee for the 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.

The 2024 Fun Chili Cook-Off was a smashing success! Once again, several hundred people turned out for the Fun Chili Cook-Off hosted at The Cork Tucson. More than $27,000 was raised with all net proceeds going to the Send a Kid to Camp charity.

Our first ever Silent Auction proved quite popular featuring some very hard-to-find, and very well-liked originals, adding almost $2,000 for the benefit of our charity! The Committee is already on the lookout for possible Silent Auction contributions for the 2025 Event.
