Pinnacle Bank Arena Fundraising Opportunities with SMG/SAVOR…

OVERVIEW

Little league teams, school bands, church groups, and the Boy and Girl Scouts are just a few of the organizations that have benefited from our volunteer program that puts more than $100 million back into the communities throughout America each year. SMG/SAVOR… prepares members of not-for-profit groups to staff concession stands, giving them an opportunity to raise money for their organizations and be part of the excitement of a major collegiate basketball program.

If your club or association is made up of energetic and enthusiastic people who enjoy working with the public, consider helping out at our next UNL Basketball game or special event. You could be part of the team behind the team, serving thousands of guests who come to games and special events. We'll train you and give you all the information you need to succeed.
