THE EVENT

Old National Bank is pleased to announce the 2026 100 Cooks for our Community benefactor, Young Life. Presented and brought to the community by Old National Bank, the goal of the “100 Cooks Who Care” event is to raise as much money as possible for local non-profit organizations. The original event was presented by Old National Bank in 2009. In 2014, the first Dubois County community event raised over $114,000 to benefit the Indiana National Guard Relief Fund; in 2016, more than $245,000 benefited the E5 Foundation and Dubois County Leukemia Association; in 2018, $255,000 for CASA of Dubois County with expansion into Orange County; in 2022, over $200,000 was raised for Mentors For Youth and Crisis Connection; and in 2024, $210,000 was raised for Swicac!

​

The unique fundraiser brings 100 local celebrity chefs together to prepare and serve their best culinary dish for the community.  In addition, the event offers music, live and silent auctions and a chef’s competition that honors the chef who raises the most money for the cause.

​​

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, September 12th at 6 pm at the Huntingburg Event Center.
