FOOD & BEVERAGE

Keeping our Volunteer crew energized and hydrated throughout the event is a priority for the Stifel Birds of Prey event team, which is why we are investing in nutritious meals to offer our Volunteers daily.

Our Food Services Crew works diligently to provide our volunteers with plenty of good quality food and hydration. Each day that you volunteer, you will receive breakfast or lunch depending on the time of your shift.

Start your day with a nutritious breakfast, available to volunteers with shifts starting before 8 am. Enjoy house-made breakfast burritos, egg sandwiches, oatmeal, and more, plus a choice of cold and hot beverage at no charge with your volunteer credential on the days you are volunteering. To-go containers are not permitted at the breakfast buffet. Thank you for enjoying your meal with us!
