Friends of Beckman Auditorium

We invite you to join The Friends of Beckman Auditorium, a group which has been supporting the performing arts at Caltech since 1967.

When you become a Friend of Beckman Auditorium, you are saying that science education and arts education matters to you. Your donation is used to help fund our K-12 educational outreach programs such as our performing arts events and our Science Journeys virtual lecture series (previously called Real Science).

To join, decide on your membership level and call the Friends Service Desk at 626-395-6400, or join online.

If you are unable to join The Friends at this time, your contribution in any amount is welcomed and encouraged.
