A letter from ChargerREC
"Thank you, President Kaplan, for your vision, leadership, and faith. Your unwavering belief in the value and impact that this facility would have on campus continues to inspire us.

To David ’66 and Ruthann Beckerman and each donor who helped make the Beckerman Recreation Center a reality: Thank you for your generous financial support. The many names that adorn this remarkable facility are a daily reminder to staff and students that you, too, understood the value the Beckerman Recreation Center would have on our campus. Without your help, this dream would have remained just that ... a dream

The Department of Campus Recreation believes we owe it to you and to the students to make the most of the recreational and fitness opportunities you have made possible. This is what we’ve done, and this is what we will continue to do."

With deep appreciation,
ChargerREC
