‘Tomorrow for Together’ event guests will enjoy food and drinks, an inspiring program and opportunities to connect with others.
The Portland Community College Foundation is hosting its annual “Together for Tomorrow” fundraiser from 5:30 to 9 p.m., Saturday, May 30 at the Performing Arts Center on the Sylvania Campus, 12000 SW 49th Ave.
The evening will feature student stories and celebrate the transformative power of a PCC education while raising funds for scholarships. Guests will enjoy food and drinks, an inspiring program and opportunities to connect with fellow PCC supporters. There will be live music by PCC alum DJ Aspen, who is the official house DJ for the Portland Trail Blazers, Thorns and Timbers.
The event helps expand access to education and ensure students have the support they need to thrive.
“‘Together for Tomorrow’ goes beyond raising funds,” said Christina Kline, executive director of the PCC Foundation. “It’s a powerful moment of community and shared purpose as we unite to lift up students and build a stronger future.”

Proceeds from the event directly support PCC student scholarships, ensuring more students have the opportunity to pursue their goals. Kianalia Towle, a PCC Veterinary Technology Program student, is a scholarship recipient who will speak at the event.
“Without scholarships, I wouldn’t be pursuing a career in the field I’ve always dreamed of working in, and they made it possible to keep going, even when life got hard,” Towle said.
