Fund-raising opportunity at Turner Field for churches, high schools and all nonprofit groups
FCP has learned of a fund-raising opportunity for 2006 at Turner Field. ARAMARK, the contractor for food and beverage at Turner Field, offers nonprofit groups the opportunity to volunteer in a concession stand or vending commissary during Atlanta Braves home baseball games or other hosted events. Your nonprofit group will earn a percentage of the sales from the concession stand. Groups are not required to work a minimum number of events to participate.

For more information, call 404-614-2170 or e-mail burley-robin@aramark.
