Crew Carwash Raises over $215,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters During 16th Annual ‘Crew for Kids’ Fundraiser

INDIANAPOLIS (August 6, 2025) – Crew Carwash, a trusted family-owned business since 1948, proudly announces the results of its 16th annual Crew for Kids fundraiser held on Saturday, July 26. Through a one-day effort across all 54 Crew locations in Indiana and Minnesota, the company raised $215,793 in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies that serve communities where Crew operates. As part of this effort, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana will receive $155,000 to support local mentorship programs.

As part of the event, 50% of all proceeds from the Ultimate Wash—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 grateful to our customers, team members, and community partners for making this year’s event such a success,” said Sally Grant, 3rd Generation Family Business Leader & EVP of Crew Carwash. “Every Ultimate wash purchased helped fund life-changing mentorship opportunities for kids in our communities.”

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.

“The way Crew Carwash, its amazing team members, and generous customers show up for our community’s kids every year blows us away, and we are so grateful,” said Darcey Palmer-Shultz, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. “All of the funds raised from the Crew for Kids event help us empower the potential of more great kids, and with so many kids who want and deserve that opportunity, days like this one make a big difference.”

Since its inception in 2010, Crew for Kids has now raised over $1.6 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.
