Why support the Festival of Dreams?

PCC is the largest institution of higher education in Oregon. When you light up the night for student success, you help strengthen our region by making education accessible to all. Funds raised through this event will benefit the PCC Foundation’s scholarship program, including the Bridges to the Future Scholarship, an initiative created to dismantle barriers to education encountered by students from historically marginalized communities.

Unable to attend, but still want to be a part of the Festival of Dreams? Your gift makes a difference. Support PCC students and their dreams!
