About the NPO Program

If your non-profit organization is looking to make a difference and contribute to the exceptional fan experience at stadiums, arenas, and amphitheaters while fundraising, we would love to hear from you! Each season, we contract with non-profit organizations to operate certain concessions stands as a means of raising funds for their activities. It serves as an alternative to traditional fundraising like car washes and bake sales while developing teamwork and camaraderie in an exciting atmosphere. We are proud of our program and hope that it can help make a difference and help your organization reach your fundraising goals.

The Aramark non-profit program has supported churches, youth sports, food banks, booster clubs, private schools and civic groups. In addition to potentially raising thousands of dollars for their organizations, groups learn to work as a team and operate in an honest, ethical, and enjoyable atmosphere.
