Athletic programs are front and center in a college’s budget discussion and they are usually the first affected.  Many are forced to make very tough decisions that sometimes lead to cutting an athletic program or two. Other programs have difficulty managing their slim, shoe-string budget and struggle to cover the rising cost of insurance, maintaining training equipment, purchasing uniforms, and providing healthy meals for student athletes when they are traveling.

The Los Angeles Valley College Foundation is working with LAVC Athletics to address these challenges and needs through the Athletic Endowment!

The Athletic Endowment looks to the future and is perpetual! With its annual earnings, it will supplement the Athletic Fund. Those who donate $1,000 or more will be recognized on the Monarch Athletic Center’s donor wall. We are so grateful to those who have already contributed to the Endowment. The following are prominently recognized on Monarch Athletic Center’s Donor wall:
