Along with the competition, adrenaline, and entertainment that the football season at the University of Tennessee brings to the the Knoxville area, it should also be noted that the games, through Sodexho, are doing a great job in helping to raise money for schools, youth groups, and other local organizations around the community.

Each game is packed full of over 100,000 screaming fans, who, at some point during the game, make their way to the concessions stands found scattered across the Neyland Stadium. A good amount of these stands are a type of fundraiser for schools and church organizations.

For the past three home games Farragut High School has been hosting several Minute Maid stand, run by students and parents, around the stadium in hopes to provied the Farragut High School Marching Band with new uniforms for the coming years. The uniforms cost up to about $500 each so, naturally, the fund raisers, as well as donations, at the games have been helping greatly. 

The LoI have been having a lot oLogan Temple youth group member, Monshe Allmonf fun.gan Temple AME Youth Group is one of the church groups who is selling Coca-Cola products at all the home games in order to raise money for a mission trip to New Orleans. This is the third year that Logan Temple has used the UT concessions as a way for raising money and, thus far, it has been a very helpful fund raiser. 

Another school which is taking advantage of the home games is Clinton High School of Anderson County. For the past two years, the Clinton High School Cheerleading Squad has attended all UT home games in an effort to raise funds which will be placed in a pot and used for overall equpiment, replacement uniforms, trips, and competitions. The whole squad participates throughout the session at different concession stands, selling food and drinks.

UT Football and Sodexho is very proud to provide this kind of service to Knox County and its neighboring counties. Sodexho is still looking for more non-profit organizations to be a part of UT history.
