SUPPORT BEACH ATHLETICS

At Long Beach State, success isn’t just measured in wins and championships – it’s built on the growth of our student-athletes as leaders, scholars, and proud members of the Beach community. Every gift to Beach Athletics fuels that journey.

Behind every personal best, championship moment, and college degree is a network of dedicated donors who believe in the power of sport to transform lives.

When you give to Beach Athletics, you’re not just supporting a team – you’re investing in futures.

WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES

Your generosity directly benefits over 300 student-athletes across 19 sports. Here’s how your gift makes a tangible difference:
  • Scholarships
    • Your support helps ease the financial burden of tuition and fees so student-athletes can stay focused on their academic and athletic goals.
    • Example: $2,500 can help close the gap between athletic aid and the full cost of attendance, particularly for walk-ons or student-athletes on partial scholarships.
  • Mental Health & Wellness
    • Support services like sports psychologists, team workshops, and resources that prioritize emotional well-being.
    • Example: $500 funds team mental wellness sessions for one program.
  • Championship Fuel – Nutrition
    • Ensure student-athletes have access to sport-specific nutrition plans, performance meals, and hydration stations.
    • Example: $1,000 helps stock our fueling station with healthy snacks, hydration, and recovery options for two weeks.
  • Facilities & Equipment
    • Enhance training, competition, and recovery spaces for student-athletes through facility upgrades and modern equipment.
    • Example: $5,000 supports new training equipment used by all our student-athletes.
