About Us
The Waco Hippodrome is a proud member of our community. Since our creation, we have relied upon the support of the Waco community. Support comes in the form of monetary donation, business sponsorship, volunteering to help with the shows, and many other manifestations. We hope that you will join us and add your voice to the chorus that makes up the Waco Hippodrome.
Nationally, the nonprofit arts and culture industry generates $166.2 billion in economic activity every year—$63.1 billion in spending by organizations and an additional $103.1 billion in event-related spending by their audiences. The impact of this activity is significant, supporting 5.7 million U.S. jobs and generating $29.6 billion in government revenue.
Volunteers
The Hippodrome simply could not continue to keep its doors open without the monetary support of our donors and patrons. However, we also depend upon a selfless group of community-minded individuals that range in age from sixteen to sixty-plus who give of their time and expertise. These people are called the Hippodrome Ambassadors. Volunteer duties include ushering, ticket-taking, greeting patrons, and working concessions. The minimum age limit for volunteers is sixteen. When seating permits, volunteers watch the show. Some of our volunteers assist the Staff with office projects during the work week, working on data entry, answering phones, or poster distribution. The Hippodrome hosts annual Volunteer Parties at the beginning and end of each Season with refreshments, door prizes, and a chance to meet new friends.
