Long Beach Century Club

We are asking for your help to raise $15,000 for the Long Beach Century Club through the Long Beach Gives 2024 event on September 19th. It's easy! You can donate through this page or the personal page created by some of our members. This is a great opportunity to be a part of our Long Beach sports community while supporting the important roles that sports, coaches and schools play in the lives of our student athletes!

Formed in 1957, the Long Beach Century Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to the support of amateur athletics in the city of Long Beach, including the city's middle schools, high schools, and colleges. Members' dues and other fundraising efforts, including the Mayor's Cup Golf Tournament, allow the Club to contribute tens of thousands of dollars every year to local programs and athletes.

The Club hosts two major banquets annually to recognize local community athletes, coaches, and supporters. Our Hall of Fame banquet honors high school, collegiate, and professional athletes plus coaches at all levels and supporters of athletics in all disciplines, all with strong ties to the City.  The Middle School Banquet is offered near the end of each school year, honoring the student-athletes from each of the championship teams in each sport offered by the Long Beach middle schools. For many who are not the most skilled or talented, it is often the last time they will be recognized for their athletic accomplishments.

Amateur youth sports clubs, school teams and athletic departments are typically underfunded as they continue to struggle with extremely limited school budgets. The Century Club generally donates over $35,000 annually to the local middle schools, high school, Long Beach City College and LB State, to help their funding efforts for equipment, entry fees, and travel.
