How to help Send a Kid to Camp pay for 400 S. Arizona kids go to fall camps this fall

Our 22nd annual Cork Fun Chili Cook-Off is expected to raise nearly half of that pledge. The cook-off is Sept. 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cork Tucson, 6320 E. Tanque Verde Road. Admission is $10 at the door.

Nine local restaurants will compete for bragging rights as the fan-favorite best chili in Tucson. Most of the chilis are imagined just for this event.

You’ll taste chili from The Cork Tucson, Uncork’d Kitchen & Cocktails, Millie’s Haus, Canyon’s Crown Restaurant & Pub, Renee’s Tucson, Kingfisher Bar and Grill, Eclectic Cafe, Fini’s Landing and Bashful Bandit Barbeque. Millie’s won last year. 

Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 45,250 children to go to overnight camp. We’re one of the oldest 501(c )(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
