Other interesting creations imagined by the company include the Pickle Dog with Peanut Butter, the Golden Dragon Corn Dog with sriracha mayo, and the Fire Cracker Glizzy, which comes with hot Cheetos! Those are just a few of the many offerings that have donned their menu over the years.

Interestingly, the company that owns Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs also owns California Churro in the Downtown Disney District and Sunshine Churros in Disney Springs. Working To Give has an inspiring philosophy when it comes to its profits.

The company uses 50% of business profits to provide humanitarian aid around the globe. Their website states,

“Working to Give is driven by the 50/50 Principle and a mission to impact the world through a different kind of business — 5O% of the business profits is reinvested for continued growth, 50% is given away to help men and women achieve their God given potential.”

Matt Holguin founded the inspiring company. The idea came to him while pursuing his MBA at Azusa Pacific University. With a ferocious passion for positively impacting the world, he realized he could create his own, unique business model.

The motivating factor would be giving back, with a business focusing on purpose rather than profits. Income from his three stands at Disney and a gelato stand called Fabe’s Churros and Gelato at the OC and Ventura County Fair goes to several deserving initiatives around the globe.

Some of the company’s focuses include: providing aid to children, families, and communities suffering from poverty and injustice, food and water initiatives, micro-lending, forever homes for orphans, human trafficking, and more. Founder Matt Holguin regularly travels to different countries, providing help in person, where he feels he can make a difference.
