Crew Carwash, announces the results of its 17th annual Crew for Kids fundraiser, which took place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, and was extended to include Sunday, July 19, 2026. Through a two-day effort across all 60 Crew locations in Indiana, Minnesota, and Illinois, the company raised $268,632 in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies that serve communities where Crew operates. Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across Indiana will receive over $180,000 to support local mentorship programs.
As part of the event, 50% of all proceeds from the Ultimate 360° and Ultimate Washes, including both in-store and online sales, were donated directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Select locations featured local volunteers, Bigs and Littles, radio remotes, special guests, and mascot appearances to help drive excitement and participation.
“We’re incredibly thankful for the team members, customers, and communities who helped make this year’s Crew for Kids a success,” said Sally Grant, 3rd Generation Family Business Leader & EVP of Crew Carwash. “Every Ultimate wash purchased helps connect more young people with mentors who build confidence, encourage bigger dreams, and help kids reach their full potential.”
Funds raised will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies serving the communities across the three states 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.
“We are extremely grateful for the entire team at Crew Carwash for going above and beyond to support young people in our community, year after year,” said Darcey Palmer-Shultz, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. “The funds raised, thanks to Crew Carwash and so many generous customers, will ensure that more kids have access to life-changing mentorship.”
Since its inception in 2010, Crew for Kids has now raised nearly $2 million to support Big Brothers Big Sisters programming across the Midwest.
Crew and Big Brothers Big Sisters invite customers to “be Big”—not just by donating, but by exploring what it means to become a mentor. In just a few hours each month, a Big can make a lasting difference in the life of a Little. Learn more at www.bebigforkids.org/volunteer .
