DRILLERS OPPORTUNITIES
There are still wonderful fundraising opportunities at OneOk Field this summer for your band account! There are plenty of Drillers and FC Tulsa games remaining on the schedule this season. If you volunteer to work at one of the concession stands, you will make money for your Charms account. The Drillers will pay you $45 PER VOLUNTEER for every game you work. This is easy money and a great way to raise funds without the pressure of selling something to your friends or family.
Plus if transportation is an issue, we now have the ability to coordinate a bus if enough volunteers need a ride to OneOk Field! Click the link below for more information:
