Crew Carwash to Host 17th Annual ‘Crew for Kids’ Fundraiser to Benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters
INDIANAPOLIS (July 13, 2026) – Crew Carwash, a trusted family-owned business since 1948, is proud to announce the return of
its annual Crew for Kids fundraiser in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Now in its seventeenth year, the one-day event will
take place Saturday, July 18, at all 60 Crew Carwash locations across Indiana, Minnesota, and Illinois, including 54 in the
Indianapolis and surrounding areas.
As part of the event, 50% of all Ultimate 360° and Ultimate Wash proceeds from both in-store and online sales on Saturday, July
18, will be donated directly to local Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies. A portion of all Ultimate 360° and Ultimate Unlimited Club
member washes and 100% of all on-site donations will also be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters. With every qualifying wash
purchase, customers can help create more opportunities for youth to reach their full potential through mentorship.
The event runs from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with an inclement weather date set for Saturday, July 25. Select locations will feature
live appearances by local officials, mascots, and special guests throughout the day.
“Our team members look forward to Crew for Kids every year because they see firsthand the impact it has on the
communities we serve,” said Bill Dahm, CEO of Crew Carwash. “We’re proud to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters for
Crew for Kids to support the kids of Indiana, Minnesota, and Illinois.”
Funds raised will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies that serve markets in which Crew has locations. The agencies to receive
proceeds from this fundraiser include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central Indiana,
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Lafayette, Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago,
and more local agencies of the youth organization.
“Supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters through Crew for Kids has become one of our most meaningful traditions, and we’re
thrilled to celebrate the event’s 17th year,” said Sally Grant, 3rd Generation Leader and Owner of Crew Carwash. “Every
year, Crew for Kids helps us support the life-changing mentorship opportunities Big Brothers Big Sisters provides to
empower youth to reach their full potential.”
In 2025, Crew Carwash raised more than $215,000 during the single-day fundraiser, bringing the company’s total contributions to
over $1.7 million since the event’s inception in 2010.
“We love this day, and we are so, so grateful to Crew Carwash for the many ways they support our community. This marks
the 17th year for the Crew for Kids event, and we appreciate the amazing support and awareness it generates,” said Darcey
Palmer-Shultz, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. “Crew Carwash is a great example of what it looks like
for a company to care about the community. They employ Littles, encourage their team to volunteer as Bigs and Board
members, provide important financial support, and create connections that further the impact of the Big Brothers Big
Sisters program. They are all in, and we are very appreciative.”
