Portland Community College Foundation

PCC Foundation trustees recently toured PCC’s Cascade athletic facilities with Foundation staff to get a closer look at the spaces where student athletes train, compete, and build community.

Did you know PCC is home to four Panther athletic teams: men’s and women’s soccer and basketball? These programs create opportunities for students to build leadership skills, confidence, connection, and teamwork both on and off the court and field.

We enjoyed exploring this part of our PCC community together. Go Panthers! 🐾 🩵

“My path hasn’t always been a straight one, but along the way, I kept learning and giving back... That’s why I started the “Left Turn” Scholarship: to support students who, like me, discovered their first path wasn’t quite the right fit."

Laurel Dickie, a PCC alum, understands the challenge of starting over in a new career and is committed to helping others. Through the PCC Foundation, she created a scholarship to support students whose journeys take unexpected turns. Laurel has also included a future gift to the Foundation through her estate plans as a member of the Amo DeBernadis Legacy Society.
