MILWAUKEE — More than 50 Milwaukee executives and business leaders are participating in the annual Zizzo Group Donut Smackdown beginning on Tuesday to raise money for a local Boys & Girls Club damaged by summer flooding.
Notable participants include Milwaukee Fire Department Chief Aaron Lipski, Wisconsin State Fair Park Executive Director and CEO Shari Black, and Dr. George Koonce, Vice President of Advancement at Marian University and former Green Bay Packer.
The contest runs through Oct. 24.
The three teams to eat the most DonutNV mini donuts and the top three fundraising teams will advance to an epic donut-eating competition in front of a live audience, “matinee” challenge from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, November 20, at the historic Oriental Theatre of Milwaukee, where Donald Driver will crown the 2025 Zizzo Group DonutNV Smackdown Champions.
The contest aims to raise $100,000 to replace the gym floor at the Daniels Mardak Boys & Girls Club that was destroyed during historic flooding this summer. The gym serves as the main activity space for recreational programming, including basketball, volleyball and indoor soccer.
