Hello Former Rowers, Alumni and Rowing Supporters,
The San Diego Crew Classic is rapidly approaching, March 31 & April 1. This is the biggest event on the Beekley Foundation’s calendar. Like every year, it’s a great opportunity to meet the current rowers on the team, see alumni from years past that you have not seen in many years, and be able to set the direction for the foundation for the next year (including electing the next set of officers).
