Please help us welcome Camden Stockton, Adam Garelik and David Kim to the Beach.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State Athletics has announced that three positions relating to development and revenue generation have been filled, bringing strong revenue generating experience.
 
Camden Stockton has been hired as the new Associate Athletics Director for Development. In that role, Stockton will focus on driving major gifts for capital projects, planned giving and endowments as well as help grow Beach Athletic Fund membership in support of student-athlete scholarships.
 
                Stockton has spent the last 5 years at TCU, primarily as the Assistant Director of Development and Annual Fund. As a front-line fundraiser, Stockton helped TCU see a $1 million increase in annual giving since 2015 when he started in that role, helped create the Touchdown Club for TCU football, helping raise over $350,000 annually for the TCU Frog Club, and over $200 million in athletics facility renovation projects. Prior to moving to Fort Worth, Stockton worked with the Mountaineer Athletic Club at West Virginia while pursuing a pair of Master's Degrees in Business Administration and Sport Management.
 
                "Camden comes to LBSU with tremendous success at TCU and West Virginia," said Rob Clark, Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director.  "We are confident that he will thrive at the Beach in helping build our major gifts program at Long Beach State."
 
                Joining the Beach as a Development Assistant is Adam Garelik, who comes to Long Beach State from San Jose State, where he worked as a sales consultant as part of the Aspire Group, a company also partnered with Long Beach State. Garelik is a graduate of the LBSU Sport Management master's program.
 
                "Adam brings great energy and experience from San Jose State," added Clark. "We're excited to have him back at the Beach and helping provide excellent service to our Beach Athletic Fund members."
 
                Additionally, Long Beach State has promoted David Kim as Ticket Coordinator from his role as a Development Intern. Kim assisted in the Beach Athletic Fund's recent Year-End Giving Challenge that raised nearly $300,000 in one month supporting of student-athlete scholarships.
 
                "David has proven to be a great fit through his work ethic and grit on our Development team," said Clark. "We are excited that he will continue to help us grow our donor and ticket base as well as strengthen our ticket operations area.
 
                "With the restructuring of our Athletics Development Team, we are thrilled to have Camden, Adam and David join the Beach family."
