2026 Donut Smackdown
Calling All Contestants

Think you’ve got what it takes? Come hungry. Leave legendary.

Defend your Donut Smackdown title or come hungry enough to take down the champs. Grab two or three friends, foes, coworkers, or family members, pick a time, and come to ZG. We’ll roll the cameras, start the clock, and see how many Donut NV donuts your team can demolish.

Qualifying runs will be filmed at ZG Headquarters October 5–16. After you have eaten all that you could in your 2-minute countdown, you’ll also raise some serious dough for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Milwaukee. We’ll provide social assets to help you rally your network and bring in the dough.

The top eaters and top fundraisers advance to Donut Smackdown Live on November 11, where they’ll battle for the title in front of a live audience — with Super Bowl champion Donald Driver there to crown the winners.

Eat big. Raise bigger. Go for glory.

Milwaukee Needs Club Kids.
Club Kids Need Us.

BGCGM provides a safe place for kids after school, hot meals, mentors, and programs that help Milwaukee’s youth succeed in school, build character, and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.

Every donut demolished and every dollar raised will help put something pretty awesome back on the court at BGCGM Camp Whitcomb/Mason. After severe spring storms worsened damage to its aging basketball court, we’re raising funds to give campers a brand-new place to play, compete, laugh, and belong — complete with new hoops, benches, and sports equipment.
