SportsHopes volunteers work hard to staff concession stands at the 12-16-2012 and 12-2-2012 Oakland Raiders 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 Raiders concessions company donates a percent of profits in return for staffing stands.
