Local volunteers worked at concession stands at the 10-9-12 and 10-3-12 Oakland A’s baseball games to raise funds for SportsHopes. SportsHopes is a 501c3 nonprofit public charitable org that helps high school and community college student-athletes move forward to four-year colleges. Services provided to student-athletes are free of charge. The A’s concessions company donates a percent of profits in return for staffing a stand. Additional fundraising at 2012 games is planned.
