First, we want to thank those that have supported us in year’s past. Your generosity helped us upgrade parts of the Hornet Beach Complex. Recently, we were even able to replace multiple segments of old and deteriorated windscreens along the South, North, and East fence lines during this past off-season!
This year on Give Sac State Day, I ask that you consider making a gift to the beach volleyball program. The funds raised today will be used to enhance our student-athletes’ and fans’ experiences. We are currently focusing on two areas that will have a major impact on our program: Hornet Beach Complex enhancements and the establishment of a beach volleyball scholarship endowment.
Hornet Beach Complex improvements include:
- A large scoreboard that provides one location for each of the court’s scores and updates
- On-site storage for training and game operations equipment
- Permanent coverage for teams, officials, operation staff, and fans
- Live streaming of all Hornet Beach Volleyball Matches
Moving forward, we are also looking into the creation of our first beach volleyball scholarship endowment. Generating sustainable financial support to year-round, training beach volleyball student-athletes, this commitment also increases access for female athletes to join our current roster of hybrid two sport indoor and beach volleyball student-athletes. In order to provide a yearly scholarship for beach volleyball, we are setting a short-term goal of raising $400,000 - $500,000 dollars toward an endowment.
Thank you, Hornet Beach Supporters. Stinger’s Up!
Ed Jackson, Co-Head Coach Beach Volleyball
