VanAndel Arena Concessions

How does it work?

Our group signs up for a concession stand(s) for an event, essentially committing enough volunteers to run it.  Then an e-mail is sent out to let those who have expressed interest that these events have been added to BoosterHub as volunteer opportunities and a wait list is created for each event.  Those events will then be assigned to people on the wait lists. Most event shifts are around 5 hours, but do vary depending on the event.  Our group receives a donation based on the tips and a percentage of food and beverage sales. 

Events range from sports games to concerts to shows. If you're at an event look for our booth to support our program!

How much will I earn?

The Band Boosters receives a donation from Van Andel based on a percentage of commissions and 100% of our earned tips for the month. The Boosters then give credits to the volunteers at around 80% of the total donation amount to those that volunteered that month. The remaining 20% goes to the general band fundraising account. The average credit throughout the year is between $100 and $200 credits per shift.

Why should I participate?

Working Van Andel concessions is a fantastic way to raise money to pay for band related expenses including band camp fees, winter group fees, trips, private lessons, instrument rental fees, and supplies. This is also a great way to get to know and build community with other band parents while having fun!
