Compare Our Program to Typical Fundraising

Compared to traditional fundraising efforts, our program is a unique and wonderful opportunity. Have you noticed that typical fund-raisers depend heavily on the generosity of your friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers? To make a profit, you are required to impose upon them to buy candy, raffle tickets, baked goods, coupon books, wrapping paper, etc. You are also often required to do endless hours of planning.

In contrast, our program offers you a better alternative. Our concessions are in high and immediate demand by patrons enjoying the many events hosted at Coca-Cola Park including:

All IronPigs Home Games, Local High School Baseball Games, and other annual Festivals or Special Events

For customers, buying refreshments is a fun part of any event, rather than an obligation. In addition, you no longer have to knock on doors to ask people to buy something. They come right to you. It’s fund-raising without the guilt. Not only are you raising money for your organization, but also you are working as a group to do so. You can earn money and build teamwork at the same time! Operating a concession stand at sporting contests and other entertainment events has proven to be an excellent fund-raising source for non-profit organizations at dozens of stadiums and arenas across the country.

An organized and well-motivated group can earn hundreds of dollars per game for their organization. In addition, you get to participate in the excitement of IronPigs baseball in The Lehigh Valley in 2024 as well as high school games, and any concerts or other special events booked at the Ballpark!

Joining The Program

Who can be part of the non-Profit programs? Churches, schools, dance groups, sports teams, band boosters, civic organizations, swim clubs, or any other community focused organization. We will schedule non-profit groups to supplement our hourly employees to work events at Coca-Cola Park. Your non-profit organization will work at our concessions stands or portable kiosks during events at Coca-Cola Park and will earn a per hour rate.

You will need to establish two contact people to act as Primary and Secondary Group Coordinators. These individuals will be the contacts for all of your dealings with Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The IronPigs / J&E Concessions will provide a schedule of available dates. You will need to provide a list of volunteers before the scheduled date. If committing to the schedule through the entire season, there will be no minimum number of volunteers required, however list of volunteers will still need to be submitted prior to each homestand. If only seeking to volunteer for one specific date, we ask for at least a minimum of 5 volunteers.
