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! 🐾 🩵
