Top Chefs 2025 is the signature fundraising event for the Terre Haute Children’s Museum

For the 17th year, 100+ local leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors will share their favorite recipes with guests at THCM Top Chefs. This year’s theme is “We LOVE the 90s,” bringing all the nostalgia, flavor, and fun of the decade to this lively cook-off competition. As the Museum’s largest fundraiser of the year, this event provides vital funds to support our mission to “enrich our children's lives through the exploration of science and technology.” Funds raised help us maintain exhibits, provide hands-on science programs, support scholarship initiatives, and cover the overhead of maintaining a facility of this caliber.

Like you, we believe in the power of education. We are proud that our museum has become a source of pride for the entire Wabash Valley.
​

As mentioned, over 100 chefs from across the Wabash Valley will be throwing it back 90s-style as they compete for bragging rights. Be sure to help your favorite chef and team take home the night's highest honor by tipping them—because this fundraiser is all that and a bag of chips! Tips can be made online and at the event. Remember, this is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Terre Haute Children’s Museum. Your support is da bomb and makes a HUGE difference!

The Competition

The team that brings in the most total tips will be crowned THCM Top Chefs Champions.​
The top tip winner on each team will be recognized as a member of Da Bomb Team.  
The chef that raises the most money will be the THCM Top Chef and receive the top award.
The Rookie chef that brings in the most tips will be named Rookie of the Year.​​
