Crew Carwash announces the return of its annual Crew for Kids fundraiser in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Now in its 17th year, the one-day event will take place Saturday, July 18, 2026, at all 60 Crew Carwash locations across Indiana, Minnesota, and Illinois, including 54 in the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. With every qualifying wash purchase, customers can help create more opportunities for youth to reach their full potential through mentorship, the company said. 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.
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, 2026, will be donated directly to local Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies, and 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, a news release said. The event runs from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with an inclement weather date set for Saturday, July 25, 2026.
