2026 Season · Year Three

We're back for
Year Three.

The Seattle Seahawks have selected Compass Housing Alliance for a third consecutive season as an official Spirit of 12 nonprofit partner. It only works because of volunteers like you — and in just two seasons, it's already raised more than $233,000 for Compass programs.

What Is Spirit of 12?

A season-long partnership, one raffle ticket at a time.

The Seahawks Spirit of 12 program supports twelve nonprofit organizations region-wide. Each provides volunteers to sell 50/50 raffle tickets at games — and the mechanics are simple.

Fans buy in

Volunteers sell 50/50 raffle tickets to Seahawks fans throughout the stadium before kickoff and through the third quarter.

One winner, one cause

One fan wins half the jackpot. The rest supports Spirit of 12 nonprofit partners, including Compass.

Matched by Allen Family Philanthropies

In recent seasons, Allen Family Philanthropies has matched funds raised — effectively covering the jackpot paid to winners, so nonprofit proceeds go further.

Compass is committed to meeting and exceeding our participation commitment for the Spirit of 12 program. When you volunteer to support Compass, you strengthen our partnership with the World Champion Seattle Seahawks while raising funds for 12 vital community nonprofits. Please join us!

Why Volunteer

Sell tickets. Change lives.
Watch the fourth quarter.

Support Compass' exciting Seattle Seahawks partnership — plus enjoy all of this along the way:

  • Help fund Compass and the Spirit of 12 partner nonprofits
  • Be part of something that genuinely changes lives
  • Experience game day at Lumen Field from the inside
  • Watch the fourth quarter after your shift wraps
  • Work alongside friends and family
  • Compete for Seahawks prizes and recognition — Compass volunteers regularly rank among top sellers
! Good to know: this is a fundraising shift, not a game-attendance opportunity. Volunteers sell tickets through the third quarter and generally shouldn't expect to watch much of the game until their shift wraps — though many stay for the fourth quarter once they're done.

"Compass volunteers always bring enthusiasm, energy and passion to their volunteer role, and it makes a huge difference in connecting with fans to support our community."

— Emily Neighbors, Seattle Seahawks Community Engagement Senior Manager

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be affiliated with Compass Housing Alliance to volunteer?

No. Friends, family members, community members, corporate partners, board members, and Seahawks fans are all welcome. You don't need to be a Compass volunteer, donor, or employee to join.

How old do I need to be?

Volunteers participating in Seahawks game-day raffle sales must be at least 18 years old.

Can I volunteer with friends, family, or coworkers?

Absolutely. Many volunteers participate with friends, spouses, adult children, coworkers, or community groups. Volunteers typically work in teams of 2–3, making it a fun, social experience.

What exactly will I be doing?

Spirit of 12 volunteers help sell 50/50 raffle tickets to Seahawks fans before kickoff and through the third quarter, engaging with fans throughout Lumen Field and helping raise critical funds for community nonprofits like Compass.

Will I be able to watch the game?

Volunteers are expected to actively sell raffle tickets before kickoff and through the end of the third quarter, so you generally shouldn't expect to watch much, if any, of the game during your shift. Once responsibilities wrap, many volunteers stay for the fourth quarter. This is best suited for people who want to support the fundraising effort rather than attend as a spectator.

Is this a paid opportunity?

No. Participation is completely voluntary and unpaid. You're helping support Compass Housing Alliance's mission and a unique community partnership with the Seattle Seahawks.

Is parking included?

No. Volunteers should plan their own transportation and parking. Parking near Lumen Field can be limited and expensive on game days, so we encourage carpooling, public transit, and allowing extra time to arrive.

Do volunteers receive prizes or perks?

Yes. Volunteers receive meals and snacks during their shift and may be eligible for Seahawks-sponsored recognition and prizes — including tickets, autographed memorabilia, team merchandise, and gift cards. Compass volunteers have regularly ranked among the top sellers.

Do I need prior fundraising or sales experience?

Not at all. The Seahawks provide guidance and you'll work alongside a team throughout the event. Enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to engage with fans matter most.

What if I can't volunteer on October 4 or December 25?

You can still help. Choose any other eligible Seahawks game-day opportunity and be sure to select Compass Housing Alliance during registration so your effort counts toward our season goal.

Why does Compass need volunteers?

Volunteer participation is the primary responsibility Compass must fulfill as a Spirit of 12 partner. Stronger volunteer turnout means a stronger partnership — and more funding for people experiencing homelessness in our community.
