Group Fundraising
Tired of selling candy bars and magazine subscriptions? Valleyfair has a great fundraising program that may work for your nonprofit organization. By spending a day working at the park, nonprofit organizations can earn money and have fun at the same time!
Valleyfair’s Fundraising program allows nonprofit organizations to volunteer as a group at Valleyfair. Groups participate by working in an assigned position in the park. We can accommodate groups ranging in size from five to twenty people. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or older.
Check back soon for available fundraising opportunities.
The donation made by Valleyfair will correspond with the number of volunteers in your group. In other words, the more people you have in your group, the more money your organization will earn! Below is a sample of earnings based on group size. Depending on the day(s) you are interested in, group sizes can be much larger.

- Minimum of 5 Volunteers
- Any fundraising completed by one group on the same week is pooled together for payouts. For example, five people on Wednesday and six people on Thursday will result in a payout for 11 people.
- Each volunteer will receive a complimentary ticket to return to the park on another day (for fun!) when you successfully complete your shift and turn in your uniform.
Your organization should receive the donation check within 2-3 weeks from the date you volunteered.
The shifts available for fundraising vary depending upon the park operating hours. However, you need to be at Valleyfair 20-30 minutes before your shift starts so we can sign in your group and provide a brief orientation before your shift begins.
During your shift, you will be assigned a 30 minute break time. You can bring a bag lunch or you can purchase food in our employee cafeteria. Please be sure to tell your group to consider eating prior to getting to Valleyfair because breaks are usually about 4 hours after the start of a shift. After your shift is completed, your group may go back into the park until closing.
Pants/Shorts/Skirts:
- Must be solid tan/khaki or black.
- No athletic pants, shorts, skirts or leggings are allowed.
- No rips/tears/holes or distressed/destroyed pants, shorts or skirts are allowed.
- Shorts and skirts must reach below your fingertips with arms extended at your side.
- No cut-off shorts, capris, or cargo style shorts or pants may be worn.

- FUNdraising groups may wear their organizational/team/group shirt or sweatshirt – if this option is chosen it is highly preferred that shirts and sweatshirts are the same design.

- In the event that a group does not wear an organizational shirt or sweatshirt, Valleyfair will provide a food uniform shirt for group members to wear.

Handbags/backpacks/lose articles: It is strongly recommended that personal items are left at home or in your car while volunteering in the park. If you need to bring an item with you, fundraising group members are able to utilize lockers in our locker room but will need to bring/provide their own locks to secure belongings as Valleyfair is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
*Additional dress code information will be found in the contract your group leader will receive prior to your fundraising shift.
