In 1995, under the leadership of then-Athletic Director Ben Partee,
the Bear Cub Athletic Trust (BCAT) was founded. The first meeting
of the BCAT committee took place on November 3, 1995 with Bob Salisbury
serving as committee chair. With the help of some Bear Cub boosters,
SRJC coaches and other college employees, the Bear Cub Athletic Trust
Committee’s intent was to form an organization that would assist
Athletics, Dance and Physical Education in various capacities, such
as: fundraising and providing volunteer help for various department
activities, while keeping SRJC alumni informed of events which would
be of interest to them.
We are proud to state that over the last ten years, under the leadership
of past chairs, Bob Salisbury and Rick Call, funds which have been
raised through BCAT committee activities and events have been used
to assist in the purchase of state championship rings, help defray
the cost of new department web pages, provide video equipment for
coaches and assist with costs associated with state playoff competitions
for a number of our intercollegiate sport teams.
In addition, members of the committee as well as other boosters,
have volunteered their services and countless hours in a number of
significant ways: helping with hospitality rooms, setting up
and running concessions and gate, promoting merchandise at home games,
planning events such as the annual Hall of Fame Dinner and helping
to sponsor the Press Democrat High School Athletes of the Year Awards
Banquet, which takes place each year in Haehl Pavilion on the Santa
Rosa Junior College campus.
Future plans include the development of an SRJC Athletic Alumni database,
as well as the creation of the first Bear Cub Athletic Trust Newsletter.
Former SRJC athletes are asked to provide their information* to the
SRJC Foundation office for inclusion in our Athletic Alumni database,
by emailing rcutcher@santarosa.edu or soreilly@santarosa.edu.
