Cal Alumni Club of Fresno
The Cal Alumni Club of Fresno was formed in the mid-1980s, and our primary objective is to support the Central Valley Cal community by providing socializing, networking, volunteering, as well as community service and outreach opportunities. We host a variety of social events such as forums, theatre events, sporting events, and football viewing parties.
Come build the Cal Bears community with us in Fresno!
