2025 Greatest Chefs of Michiana

The YMCA’s Greatest Chefs of Michiana fundraiser is the most delicious way to make a difference in your community! Local restaurants and community leaders or ‘celebrities,’ team up, and together, they create a dish as they vie for the top spot in a friendly competition between pairs. But it’s not just about the food – it’s about making a difference! Each team will raise funds for the YMCA through votes before and during the event. And when the night is over, the team with the most votes will taste sweet victory, claiming the title of ‘Greatest Chefs!’

This fundraising event supports the Y's scholarship fund, ensuring that membership and programs remain accessible to everyone in the South Bend community. 

With your support, in 2023 we provided 281 scholarships to members and contributed to 93 scholarships for campers at YMCA Camp Eberhart.
