Volunteer with Shadow Mountain Red Cape Boosters at Phoenix Raceway!

We partner with Levy Restaurants at Phoenix Raceway to help with food and beverage service during big events. In return, our nonprofit group receives donations that support our programs.

Here’s what volunteers need to know:

Who Can Volunteer

• You must be 18 years or older.

• You’ll need to attend required training before working an event.

• Some positions (like serving alcohol) require completing a short alcohol awareness class.

• Open to All: Friends, neighbors, and community members are welcome to volunteer, even if they do not have a student involved in the group. 

How Your Time Helps

Each shift you work earns a donation to our group:

• Suite Attendant / Bar Volunteer – $175 for a regular shift (up to 12 hours) or $220 for a long shift (up to 14 hours).

• Runner – $125 per day.

• Minimum Guarantee – Our group always receives at least $200 per event.

• Tips & Gratuities – Any tips given by guests are added to the group’s donation.

  • Tips or donations received during volunteer events are not guaranteed to any individual. All tips are considered group contributions and will be pooled accordingly. While we appreciate your hard work, individual tip amounts cannot be tracked or promised. This ensures fairness and avoids delays in distributing funds.
    
    

Every hour you volunteer helps us raise money for scholarships, events, and student programs!

Arrival: Volunteers must report to their assigned service area at least 2 hours before doors open for the event.

Shift Lengths:

• Suite Attendant / Bar: up to 12 hours ($175) or up to 14 hours ($220).

• Runner: per day flat rate ($125).

Breaks: Levy designates meal/break areas, and volunteers are expected to take breaks before the event starts.

End Time: Volunteers stay until released by Levy management (meaning shifts usually last the full event).

Expectations

• Professionalism is key. No drinking, smoking, or use of foul language while volunteering.

• Be on time. Volunteers report at least 2 hours before doors open.

• Dress code: Black polo, black pants, slip-resistant closed-toe shoes. Tattoos covered, minimal jewelry.

• No tips. Any gratuities go directly to our group’s fundraising.

During Events

• You’ll be placed in a food or beverage area and will work as a team under a Group Lead.

• Volunteers may not sit in the stands, visit suites, or watch the event while on shift.

• Breaks and meals will be provided in designated areas.

Important Notes

• Volunteers are not employees of Levy or Phoenix Raceway. 

• You won’t be paid individually—all donations go to our nonprofit group.

• Everyone must sign a waiver and attendance sheet before each event.

• Personal bags are subject to search, and you shouldn’t bring valuables.

Why Volunteer?

By volunteering, you’re helping raise money that directly supports Shadow Mountain students and programs! It’s a fun way to be part of the action at Phoenix Raceway while giving back to your favorite group.

* “Gates open” means when the track starts admitting fans / public access; there are often additional volunteer-only arrival times before that.
