Exciting opportunity with the Seahawks! We are currently at 30 volunteers and need to meet our quota of 50!

ROOTS Young Adult Shelter was selected as one of 12 nonprofits to be a Spirit of 12 Partner by the Seattle Seahawks. Through this collaboration, we are given fundraising and outreach opportunities throughout the season. Join us in raising funds to support our daily operations that provide emergency shelter to 45 young people experiencing homelessness every night - while also getting to see the Seattle Seahawks face off with the Chicago Bears!

As a volunteer, you will be selling raffle tickets during the game for the 50/50 Game Day Raffle. During every home game, the Seahawks operate a 50/50 Raffle, where fans purchase tickets that pool towards a jackpot. 50% of the total jackpot goes to a winner, while the other 50% supports non-profits - like ROOTS Young Adult Shelter! Be prepared to be in game day spirits and sell to fans in the stands!

November 2nd is the assigned game day for ROOTS, but if you're not able to make it, you can sign up to represent ROOTS at any other season home game! Admission to the game is FREE, and the Seahawks will provide meals and a t-shirt.

We’re one month away from ROOTS Rise Up 2026 and tickets are going fast! You won’t want to miss this fantastic evening of celebrating and supporting the ROOTS community.

ROOTS has always been more than a building, more than a space—it’s a real community. Our emcee this year, Kwabi Amoah-Forson, understands the relational side of caring for one another. Through various campaigns, he has assisted those in need in his community and across the country—speaking to students, businesses and organizations about what we can do to help humanity.

He is the creator of the summer feeding program “All Youth Can Eat” campaign which helped to feed over 5,500 hungry youth & college students in the Northwest and Midwest this summer.

On November 5th he will guide us through an evening of celebrating the past, present and future of ROOTS. Get your tickets today!
