How are funds allocated?

BOC is paid per event, for each concession and portable manned by the group. The money is then allocated to the school of your choice along with a statement showing who worked the events and how much each of them has earned. The money will then be put into your son’s tuition account. There is a minimum that each concession stand should make. If more than the minimum is made, the stand goes into commission and each member will receive a share of the commission earned for that event.

• The USB event minimum is usually $35.00. The average earned is $40.00
• The GABP minimum is $65.00, the average $75.00 - $80.00
• Any tips made by the stand will be pooled and divided by the total number of people who have worked that event

Are there any out of pocket expenses?

All fees will be taken out of your first earnings – there is no out of pocket for these fees.Dues – for the first year the dues are $25.00 per person which covers your required hats and administrative costs (insurance, Ohio Attorney General Fees and general clerical costs). The fees for the following years would be $10.00. If you need new heard gear then you will pay for that separately. Parking for all events will be your responsibility – there is no reserved parking for BOC volunteers.

What does the group do to raise money?

BOC works concessions areas at four locations to raise money, the US Bank Arena (USB), Paul Brown Stadium (PBS), Great American Ball Park (GABP) and Duke Energy Convention Center (DECC)

Who can work for BOC on my son’s behalf?

Anyone can be a “Sponsor”. A sponsor is the person or people who will be working on behalf of your son. You may have as many sponsors as you like (parents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, friends etc). Each venue does have a minimum age but once your son reaches this age he may also work on his own behalf: USB/PBS – minimum age is 18 and anyone 19 or old must attend the training GABP – minimum age is 16 and everyone must attend training DECC – minimum age depends on the area and type of work

How much of a time commitment are we talking about?

The time commitment is purely up to you, you work only the events you choose. You may choose to work every event possible or only a few it all depends on your personal schedule. The training for each venue only involves one class but each venue will offer many chances so hopefully one will fit into your schedule and PBS and USB use the same training so one class will cover both.
