It's Time For International Gator Day! Help Keep Our Beaches Clean by Joining the SDGC in this Year's Annual Beach Clean-up Event!

IGD is designed as a day when all of Gator Nation comes together to help out local communities. Imagine the level of synergy, solidarity, and strength we create as we volunteer around the world on May 17th.

Gators are often referred to as "the garbage disposals of the swamplands." For the past 4 years, your San Diego Gator Club has removed over 500 lbs. of trash from Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach (end of Garnett Ave). This year marks the first anniversary of adopting this part of San Diego's beautiful beach, and we collected 100 lbs. of trash at our last event on February 17th of this year.

Please come out and support your local community and the Gator Nation on May 17th. We will meet at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach at 8:30AM for registration and instructions. The trash collecting will go from 9AM to 11AM. Afterwards, we will head to our old stomping grounds, Hooters in PB for some food and refreshments (details to come). Members collecting the most trash will be awarded gifts and prizes. Remember to mark your calendars and bring family and friends to clean up our adopted beach.

Please RSVP, so that we will have enough tools for everyone. If you plan on collecting trash, but not joining the fun after, please indicate this in your response. See you all on the 17th, folks, and GO GATORS!

Gator Club Scholarship Fundraiser

The Gator Clubs of Region 8 (17 clubs west of the Mississippi) are teaming together to support two scholarships to strengthen Gator Nation. By combining the financial resources and the geography of Region 8 we can make a true impact by supporting future Gators to attend UF.


Support is desired to fund an annual $2,500 Florida Opportunity Scholarship and over a five-year span to fund a $30,000 Gator Nation West of the Mississippi scholarship endowment for a student with financial needs from our region. Read more.
