About Us

Beach Athletic Fund

Established in 1960 as the 49er Club of Long Beach, Inc., the Beach Athletic Fund is the fundraising arm of Long Beach State Athletics.

The primary purpose of the Beach Athletic Fund is to raise funds to offset the rising costs of athletic scholarships for Long Beach State student-athletes.

While the name of the organization has changed since 1960, the purpose has always been focused upon investing in the success of student-athletes and our teams both on and off the field of competition.

Our Mission


The mission of the Beach Athletic Fund is to build a meaningful relationship with alumni and friends of Long Beach State University in order to cultivate leaders and champions for our University.
