Event Attendant Service

A rare but effective way of raising funds is to hire your group out as attendants for parking lots or sell parking spaces at a regional event.

Parking Lot Attendants

There is a college football game or county

fair that will be upcoming and the organizers

will need plenty of help to accommodate

visitors. Check with the local chamber of

commerce to find out who the organizer

of the next event is and then call them.

Many times the organizers will need people to help direct traffic or take up tickets. They will often pay per hour per attendant or will pay a certain fee per night for a group of people to work. This can often lead to substantial income for your group if the event lasts one to two weeks.

Also, network with the chamber of commerce to find smaller events that will come to town that will need attendants. These could be cooking fairs, bridal fairs, conventions, trade union gatherings and more. You might be surprised how just a few of these events will give your group a successful name for event organization services. It will then start to add up.

Commitment on the part of your group and showing up on time are two critical parts of your success. The job of attendant should also be completed by adults or mature teenagers like those found in Explorer Posts, Acteens, sororities and fraternities.

Sports Game Attendants

Whether it's working as a concession stand worker, concession stand hawker or gate ticket attendant; your group is sure to profit from this consistent fundraiser. Start out by contacting the manager at the football or baseball stadium to determine availability of help needed. And don't forget smaller sports events like soccer and tennis if available in your area.

Competition is fierce, because this is a proven fundraiser. Your club or association must be very stable and able to finish a commitment once you make it. Once you begin, you will see that each week you will gain considerable funds raised from each event hosted.

Parking Space Sales

Another profitable service staffed by attendants are sales of parking lot spaces that you set up and run. This fundraiser will work if you or someone close to your group owns a parking lot or several lots near the event that will occur.

Your attendants charge $2.00 to $4.00 per vehicle that parks in your secure parking lot. You must have adults in charge of this event. Cordon off the parking lot where you have only two outlets an entrance and an exit.

A policeman would add to the security of the event. Another option would be to hire Junior ROTC clubs (Rifle Team, Honor Guard, Drill Team) to show up in uniform from the local high school. Another group with uniforms are the Law Enforcement Explorer Posts. They can help patrol the lot or lots if you have many parking spaces and they always need the money.

Always alert law enforcement officials of your plans so that they can plan traffic patterns accordingly. Be sure to also train your workers to be alert to safety issues and never allow teenagers to work alone on any of these projects.

This will give your group some ideas on starting a successful, easy fundraiser serving as event attendants. Give it a try there is big money in these successful fundraisers.
