Arizona Lotus Radio and Patio Pools and Spas are joining forces to present Tucson’s Largest Cereal Bowl on Friday, June 16 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Radio listeners can drop off unopened boxes of cereal, oats, and peanut butter, with the goal of filling their massive “cereal bowl.”
In other words, their challenge is to fill an entire above-ground swimming pool with 3,500 pounds of donated food.
The cereal drive is designed to alleviate hunger during a difficult time of year when the kids are out of school, and the electric bills are rising. Children who rely on free school meals throughout the school year often go without when school is out.
The 12-hour event drive will benefit the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, and will be broadcast live at the Patio Pools and Spas Showroom by the following radio stations:
If you can’t make it out to the event, you can easily make your donations online.
Patio Pools and Spas is located on 7960 E. 22nd St. For more information, call (520) 622-0525 or visit communityfoodbank.org.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
