IU Health Donates to PNC Athletics
The Purdue University North Central athletics program has received a $25,000 corporate sponsorship from IU Health LaPorte Hospital, the largest single gift in the program's history. The PNC Corporate Sponsorship Program provides an opportunity for Northwest Indiana companies to support PNC Athletics and publically display their commitment to the community. The funding from IU Health LaPorte Hospital will provide scholarship funding for PNC athletes and assist in supporting the growing needs of the PNC Athletics Department. PNC fields teams in men's basketball, baseball and golf and women's softball and volleyball. A women's cross country team is planned for 2013 - 14. The number of student-athletes has nearly tripled since 2007. This has led to increased student accomplishments in the classroom and on the field/court. PNC competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference. To learn more about the PNC athletic program, visit www.pncathletics.com or contact John Weber at 219.785.5273.
