Old National Bank 100 Cooks Who Care 2026
February 2027
THANK YOU TO OLD NATIONAL BANK, Our Chefs, Our Sponsors, Our Board of Directors and the community for helping make this event a huge success!
We raised over $226,000 to help us continue to support youth in our communities!
What makes the event so special? Imagine 100 of Bloomington’s most notable people (bankers, attorneys, physicians, educators, and business leaders from every endeavor, or anyone who is well known to the public) retreating into their respective kitchens to concoct their favorite dish. After a careful and loving preparation, the chef creatively decorates his serving station, dons his favorite costume in an effort to entice the crowd of friends, family, and fellow community members to take a nibble of their specialty cuisine. The prize: The Top Chef award and bragging rights for the next year!
The Top Chef award is really based on who raises the most money for the beneficiary through “tips” collected, or any other fundraising efforts the chefs can dream up. Did I mention bragging rights?
Monroe/Vigo County
Crew Car Wash
July 28, 2026
Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana is thrilled to announce that the 17th Annual Crew for Kids raised over $17,000 for local youth mentoring.
On July 18, every Ultimate and Ultimate 360 wash at participating Crew Carwash locations turned soap and shine into real support for Bigs and Littles in Monroe and Vigo Counties.
A huge thank you to everyone who rolled through the wash and showed up for kids, and a very special thank you to Crew Carwash for powering this high-impact, high-gloss day of generosity.
Because of you and Crew Carwash, cars are gleaming, futures are brighter, and more young people are ready to shine!

Crew Carwash to donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters throughout the state.
Crew Carwash, an Indiana-based family business, will partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters for its sixteenth annual Crew for Kids fundraiser.
As part of its Crew for Kids fundraiser, Crew has committed to donating 50 percent of the proceeds from all Ultimate Washes sold to Big Brothers Big Sisters, along with all cash and credit donations. The event will take place at all 48 Crew Carwash locations throughout Indiana and Minnesota.
In total, this event has raised more than $1,200,000 for the BBBS since its inaugural Crew for Kids fundraiser in 2010.
“We are thrilled to support their mission to create positive relationships through one-on-one mentoring” said Sally Grant, Executive Vice President of Crew Carwash. “We’ve witnessed first-hand the significant impact Big Brothers Big Sisters has on the youth in our community.”
Collectively, more than $9 million has been raised through 72 different 100 Cooks Who Care events across multiple Old National Bank regions to benefit local organizations.
