PROVIDENCE, R.I. - It was announced today (Feb. 27) that Ken Begasse '96 and his wife, Christine, have signed a generous commitment to support the Friar men's soccer program.
 
During Begasse's time at Providence College, he was a member of the men's soccer team and his passion for the program and the College can be seen in everything he does.
 
"Building a championship culture is everyone's responsibility," Begasse said. "It takes a team on and off the field. We are proud to be part of the Friar team and inspired to help Providence attain its ambition."
 
"When you look comprehensively at the ways an alumnus can impact Providence College, Ken Begasse checks every box," Athletic Director Steve Napolillo said. "From day one, Ken and Christine have been some of our most generous and loyal donors and the fact that our men's soccer program has a national profile has a lot to do with their support. Ken also has been an incredible resource for our students as he has hired countless interns and full-time staff members to work at Concentric Health Experience, one of the premier advertising and marketing agencies in the world where he serves as CEO. More than anything, Ken wants Friar athletics to be great and his friendship and advice through my tenure has always been invaluable as we work tirelessly to compete for BIG EAST and National Championships."
 
"I look back to my first days working at Providence College and Ken and Christine have always been in our corner," Head Men's Soccer Coach Craig Stewart said. "This commitment will ensure that we have the resources necessary to recruit the highest caliber student-athletes to wear the black and white. Ken is a prime example of a Friar student-athlete paying it forward for the next generation and we are so appreciative of the example that Ken and Christine have set."
