The club has supported thousands of Long Beach athletes, sending competitors around the world—many returning as world and Olympic champions.

The Century Club celebrates every Long Beach middle school All-City team, athlete, and coach across every sport and division at its annual Middle School Sports Awards Banquet, presenting custom-made plaques to each honoree.
