Fundraising

We hope that you take advantage of this exciting work environment that will return revenues to the community and provide a flexible volunteer schedule for your nonprofit group.

Typical nonprofit groups involved with the RBC Center include high school booster clubs, civic organizations, churches and any other nonprofit organization that retains a 501 C (3) status.

Every group has its own method of enticing people to volunteer, but most rely on members, parents and friends to sell candy and have bake sales to raise funds. Volunteers generally agree that giving of their time at these events is an easier and more dependable way to earn a significant amount of money than traditional car washes or raffle ticket sales.
