"The program is mutually beneficial for both Illinois Athletics and local charitable organizations. "This is a great little-known opportunity available in the community," said Chris Thomas, General Manager of Illinois Athletic Concessions. Certification must be completed online for each individual (~approximately $14 per certification). There are additional opportunities for revenue for those who get Basset certified to work beer portables. It is recommended that groups have 6-8 workers per stand.

Illinois' official concessions vendor, Oak View Group, offers community groups the ability to make $175 per game/per worker plus tips earned at the designated stand. Non-profits can earn anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000 in an athletic season.
