In the Fall During Notre Dame Football Season

Every Fall Corvilla runs a parking fundraiser near Notre Dame campus at our Bulla House location. This is our largest fundraiser of the year. We are always looking for volunteers to help with parking. We run it in shifts so that it is easy to commit to a couple of hours and even catch the game. Individuals, as well as groups, are welcome to apply.
