Two to three hours
That is the whole ask
Arrive fifteen minutes before the game and work it through. Once a season is a real contribution.

One shift behind
the counter funds a season.
Concessions is the single largest fundraising engine the Boosters run. It paid for a share of nearly every uniform, mat, and screen on this site. It only works when people sign up.
No experience needed. No kid in sports needed. District application takes about ten minutes, once, and covers you for the year.

OngoingHow to start
Four steps,
ten minutes
Your first shift
- Complete the district volunteer application online.
- Pick a night that works for you.
- Show up fifteen minutes early. A lead walks you through it.
- That's it. Come back when you can.
Teams: claim your dates
Programs that staff concession shifts receive direct funding back to their team. It's the most reliable way for a program to fund its own needs without asking families for another check.
- Coach or team parent contacts the Concessions Manager.
- Your program claims dates for the season.
- Team supplies volunteers for those nights.
- Funding flows back to the program.
Concessions
The busiest room
on campus
Popcorn and hot dogs sound small. They are not. Concessions revenue is what let the Boosters put $79,809 into Hamilton programs this year alone — and the growth on this page happened because more people took shifts.
No experience
Someone shows you
Every shift has an experienced lead. Nobody gets handed a register and wished luck. If you can make change and be friendly, you can do this.
No athlete
You don't need a kid
Several of our most reliable volunteers have no student in the district. Grandparents, alumni, neighbours, retired staff — all welcome.
When we need people
Each season needs its own volunteers and its own lead time. Pick the ones that fit your fall, winter, or spring.

these nights happen
Take one shift.
A couple of hours, one night, once a season. That is genuinely the whole ask — and it is where the money on this site comes from.
