PHOENIX, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Colossal, the global leader in fundraising through online competitions, proudly announces the phenomenal success of its Bar Boss competition presented by Dos Hombres, raising over $2.2 million for the Kind Campaign.

With 18 years of experience in Albania, Europe, and NYC and over 20 personal recipes under his belt, Dautaj is not just a master mixologist but a showman who stirs up quality cocktails, captivating the senses of his patrons.
