    Colossal Management, LLC is thrilled to announce that Arizona-based Food Network star Terry Matthews, also known as “BBQ Daddy,” will be one of a handful of hosts for a series of exclusive workshops set to run throughout the 2023 Favorite Chef Competition. In these workshops, Favorite Chef competitors will discover insider tips and tricks from some of the most experienced professionals in the culinary industry. 

    Matthews’ The Secret Sauce to Catering Events will walk competing chefs through the entire catering process, including:

    • Starting a catering business
    • Booking events
    • How to create a catering menu
    • Best foods for catering events
    • How to best prep for an event
    • How to pack for an event
    • Why timing is crucial

    Matthews owns and operates Qfire Catering in Phoenix, Arizona, and San Diego, California. He is well-known for appearing as a featured guest on several television and news outlets, including working alongside Chef Bobby Flay. Matthews won the Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen and Camp Cutthroat and starred in BBQ Brawl in 2021. Colossal is thrilled to partner with Matthews and offer this exclusive workshop to the 2023 Favorite Chef competitors. 

    The Favorite Chef Competition brings a community of culinary creators together to compete in a tournament-style online competition for an ultimate prize of $25,000, a one-on-one cooking experience with Carla Hall at the new Platform by James Beard Foundation at Pier 57 in NYC, and an advertorial feature in Taste of Home magazine. Registration for the 2023 Favorite Chef Competition is slated to kick off this spring.  

    Favorite Chef will be operated by Colossal as part of a fundraising campaign on behalf of DTCare, a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity organization. Donations from votes cast during the Competition will go directly to DTCare, which will then grant the donations to the James Beard Foundation to support its mission to celebrate, support, and elevate the people behind America’s food culture.

    Favorite Chef, Skatepark Hero, and Super Mom to run this year


    PHOENIX, March 17, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The Colossal Management team announces they have set a goal of raising $20M for charities in 2023. This mission comes after raising over $9.6M in 2022. Some highlights of their fundraising platform include competitions such as Fab Over 40, which resulted in a grant for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), The Greatest Baker, which resulted in a grant for Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, and Big-Game Hero, which resulted in a grant for Conservation First USA (formerly Arizona Big Game Super Raffle). 

    Each grant made significant impacts on three causes that are important to Colossal:

    • National Breast Cancer Foundation was able to fund programs and services focused on education, detection, navigation, and inspiration for individuals facing breast cancer and their families. With the grant, the NBCF navigated 51,047 patients, provided breast health education to 16,137 women, provided 9,771 mammograms, delivered 6,745 HOPE Kits, served 1,721 women through community outreach, and more.
    • The B+ Foundation has allocated all of the 2022 granted funds to be distributed to families of kids with cancer being treated at United States hospitals.
    • Conservation First USA was able to provide a sizable grant to the Arizona Deer Association to aid in its mission to improve habitat and expand Arizona’s mule deer and Coues’ deer herds. Conservation First USA also allocated funds for a project focused on restoring habitats under the Mogollon Rim at the headwaters of the sacred Salt River in Arizona. The remainder of the grant will be used to refurbish over 60 water catchments and tanks that provide valuable water sources to all wildlife in Northern Arizona’s Kaibab National Forest. 

    Colossal operates as a nationally registered professional fundraiser that runs online competitions which provide extraordinary prizes and facilitate “colossal” donations. This unique and powerful alternative fundraising method allows charities to spend time raising money and awareness for their organizations and their essential work. 

    Colossal is currently running America’s Favorite Pet and anticipates several other featured competitions in 2023, including Favorite Chef, Skatepark Hero, and Super Mom, along with established competitions like Fab Over 40, The Greatest Baker, and Big-Game Hero competitions.

    “We are really proud of what we were able to do last year. The bar has been set, and we intend to raise it year after year. On behalf of the dedicated team we have built here at Colossal, I’d like to thank everybody who came out to participate in one of our 2022 competitions. It’s incredible to see communities come together to support one another and put these causes into the spotlight they deserve,” said Colossal CEO Mary Hagen. 

    Donations raised during a Colossal competition go to DTCare, a nationally registered 501(c)(3) charity, which then grants the funds, minus fees and costs, to a designated charity beneficiary. Learn more about the donation process here.
