Why support the Road to Success gala?
There’s no place like home, there’s no place home, there’s no place like PCC! Funds raised through our Wizard of Oz-themed event will benefit students as they follow their dreams over the rainbow of higher education and on to careers that support their families and our community. At the PCC Foundation, we strive to make the journey easier for our students with vital scholarships and student support programs. Like the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Tin Man, many of our students never dared to dream bigger, until they learned about PCC’s inclusive and accessible educational opportunities.
Unable to attend, but still want to be a part of the Road to Success? Your gift makes a difference.
Support PCC students and their dreams!
What to wear
Much like the wide world of Oz, we’re not in Kansas anymore when it comes to inspiration for our evening attire. From the classic Hollywood rendition we all know and love to more recent twists on the plotline, Oz captures the imagination of several generations. Costume ideas range from whimsical witches and wizards to the Tin Man, Toto or something as simple as your favorite sparkly red shoes. No matter what you choose, feel free to come in costume and help us celebrate our students!
How to get there
We encourage guests to take public transportation or rideshare, but there are also a number of parking options at the Hyatt and nearby.
