2. Sign Up for a Background Check (valid for 1 year)
Add your name, email, and any other requested information to the Volunteer List spreadsheet. The SABPA ARAMARK Coordinator submits this to ARAMARK. Volunteers will then receive their background check forms via DocuSign. These background check forms are separate from any forms you fill out for band, choir, or orchestra and must be completed annually. Information you provide is used for this ARAMARK Fundraiser, including group emails that are distributed throughout the season.
- Sign Up for Individual Events
Add your name for any scheduled event in ARAMARK Fundraiser 2023 spreadsheet. Note in the spreadsheet if you would like a parking pass ($10 deducted from the total payout after our group's payout for the event) and whether you'd like to carpool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate?
Parents, friends, siblings, grandparents, relatives, ANYONE at least 18 years old--including students themselves. Your earnings must go to the account of a student you designate who participates in Band, Choir, or Orchdestra.
How much can a participant earn per event?
Payouts vary by event, but range from $90-$200. Football games and concerts are 8-hour shifts for $120-$200. Penguins games and concerts at PPG Paints Arena are 5-hour shifts for $90. The signup sheet will show specific payout information for each event. The entire payout goes to the student's fundraising account. This is the only fundraiser available that yields a 100% profit margin.
How much time do participants commit to this fundraiser?
Event durations vary, but range from 5-8 hours. Only sign up for the events that work for your schedule. Football games and concerts are 8-hour shifts. Penguins games and concerts at PPG Paints Arena are 5-hour shifts. The signup sheet will show specific dates, hours, and required reporting time for each event.
How many events are there?
In addition to Steelers and Pitt Panthers games, ARAMARK will sporadically announce additional opportunities.
Pirates games
Games in Baltimore, Cleveland or Cincinnati
ARAMARK runs the concessions at those city venues and asks for help from time to time. For games in other cities, ARAMARK will rent a shuttle at no cost to us, and the payout is substantially better than the regular Pitt and Steelers games. In 2022, they offered a $250 payout for a game in Baltimore. The day is long due to the bus ride, but they compensate you for the bus ride.Penguins games at PPG
These are shorter shifts for less pay. In 2022, Shaler crew members worked at Penguins games from 5pm-10pm for $90.
