We are exploring a new opportunity to offer families a way to earn money for their student accounts by working concessions at Lucas Oil Stadium during Colts games. Adults who wish to work must secure a volunteer bartender's license. There would also be some opportunities for students ages 16 and up to work as well. From prior experience of individuals who have worked these shifts in the past, the average earning per individual for a shift is about $175. Guaranteed rate is $100 per person with a split of any tips.

It is important to know that these shifts as usually 8 to 9 hours long. For example, for a 1:00pm game time, check for volunteer workers would be around 8:00am. There are also closing and cleaning duties that must be completed before leaving your shift. You will be standing virtually the entire shift.

Expenses for the adults who wish to work includes: volunteer liquor license, all black clothes (t-shirt, shoes, black slacks (no jeans/leggings) and then the hat/visors (which must be purchased thru the band and brought to each shift.) If you fail to work a shift you sign up for, you can be charged a no-show fee.

Before we commit to this opportunity, we need to determine if we have enough interest from band families to appropriate staff a booth. If you would sign up to work shifts, please email engagement@fcbands.org by May 29, 2026, so we can gauge interest from our band families.

Fundraising for YOU - all year round! No selling, no spending extra time or money… just everyday purchases turned into earnings. All of the money you earn goes straight to your student’s band account to use toward their band fees.

How does it work?

​Rebates earned are added to your RaiseRight account. Once a month the RaiseRight Coordinator sends a rebate report to the Treasurer so the funds can be applied to your student’s band account. This will show as a credit line item on your monthly statement. The easiest way to earn is by downloading the RaiseRight app on your phone so you can purchase on the go!

You can also use an "online shopping" tool via RaiseRight to stack your earnings. Please note, credits from taking advantage of the "Online Shopping" tool will take longer to show in their booster credits. RaiseRight will not pay out online shopping credits until 45 days after purchase to assure no item have been returned.

Who can use it?

Any parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend, or neighbor can sign up for an account to help raise money for your student. They don’t have to live in Indianapolis in order to use it, either! With the convenience of the RaiseRight app, out of town friends and relatives can help you earn too!

How much can I earn?

Really, that is up to you! The more you use, the more you earn. Many of our families have offset their fees by as much as HALF just by using RaiseRight.

More information can be found on the FC Bands website at RaiseRight Fundraising.
