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 with a link to our group’s sign up page where you will find event dates and times for each event our group is scheduled to work. Most event shifts are around 5 hours, but do vary depending on the event. Our group earns money from tips and a percentage of food and beverage sales. The amount earned from an event is divided equally by the number of workers in the stand for that event.
Events range from sports games to concerts to shows. If you're at an event look for our booth to support our program!
80% of earnings go directly to your student's band account and 20% benefits the band program as a whole. Typically, a person will earn between $100 - $400 from an event. There have been some instances where we have made over $400 per person. The average amount earned per person per event is between $150 - $250.
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!
Information will be sent out through BoosterHub on available dates. You will pick your top events and then events will be distributed evenly between those who signed up.
All volunteers will need to complete an online ServSafe course.
