CWI Staff, want to experience the thrill of live music for free this summer while making a real difference in the lives of College of Western Idaho (CWI) students? Here's your chance!
The Ford Idaho Center and CWI have teamed up to support the vital CWI Food Pantry Program throughout the summer concert series! From May 20 through October 11, concertgoers will have the opportunity to make monetary donations to help students facing food insecurity.
We're looking for enthusiastic staff and faculty volunteers to be the face of this incredible initiative!
As a Concert Cares Volunteer, you'll:
- Staff a dedicated CWI booth or tent at the Ford Idaho Center.
- Engage with fellow music lovers and share information about the CWI Food Pantry program.
- Hand out flyers and encourage donations to support CWI students in need.
- Facilitate easy donations through a convenient QR code for online giving. (Please note: We will only be collecting online monetary donations.)
But that's not all! As a thank you for your time and support, volunteers will receive:
- FREE admission to enjoy the entire concert after your shift!
- A complimentary food and beverage voucher!
- FREE parking!
Spread the word! Non-CWI friends and family are also welcome to join the fun and volunteer alongside you! Each concert can accommodate a maximum of four volunteers. As a CWI volunteer, you are welcome to sign up one non-CWI guest to volunteer with you.
**Please note, volunteers are only allowed to sign up for one concert.
On the day of your chosen event, a friendly representative from the Ford Idaho Center will greet you upon arrival and provide all the necessary details. More information about your chosen event will be sent directly to you after you sign up.
Don't miss this amazing opportunity to enjoy fantastic live music, support a crucial cause, and have a fun-filled summer!
This is what concert goers (& volunteers) can win with their generous donations (This can also be used as a script when speaking to concert patrons):
“Rock out for a cause and score big! Every donation you make at our summer concerts not only supports the incredible CWI Food Pantry, helping local students thrive, but also enters you for exciting chances to win! At each show, you could snag fantastic prizes, and one lucky donor will walk away with a $1000 Score Big scholarship from CWI at the end of the season! Plus, our generous partners at the Ford Idaho Center are sweetening the deal with a grand prize drawing for 4 tickets to a show of your choice next season (Nov '25 - Apr '26), 2 free parking passes, a $120 food & beverage credit, and a $100 merch item (pending artist merch availability)!
