San Diego Chargers President Dean Spanos donates $500,000 to new UC San Diego Athletic Performance Center Students at the University of California, San Diego have something new to cheer about this season. Dean Spanos, chairman of the board and president of the San Diego Chargers, has pledged $500,000 to UC San Diego to support a new Athletic Performance Center. The gift will support the expansion of the existing Alex G. Spanos Training Facility, located at the north end of campus. The revamped facility will be renamed the Alex G. Spanos Athletic Performance Center. The new center, overlooking Triton Track and Field Stadium, will include a strength and conditioning area, outdoor performance plaza, hydrotherapy room and more for student-athletes. Currently, strength-training equipment at UC San Diego’s Recreation, Intramural and Athletics Complex (RIMAC) is shared by the entire student body, with space at times reserved for student-athletes. The additional training space, thanks to the Spanos gift, will benefit all UC San Diego students with improved access to campus weight-training equipment. Collectively, the Spanos family has made gifts totaling more than $1.6 million to UC San Diego Athletics. This represents the most any family or single donor has given to the intercollegiate sports program at UC San Diego. “We truly appreciate Dean Spanos’ generosity to UC San Diego Athletics. This gift represents a continuation of the Spanos family’s support which has spanned the decades,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “This new facility will have a significant impact for our Triton student-athletes, as well as our student body as a whole.” To learn about more about supporting Athletics initiatives, including the Athletic Performance Center, please visit givetoathletics.ucsd.edu.
