PTC Foundation
About the PTC Foundation
The Foundation was created in 1999 to help the college expand and meet the growing educational and cultural needs of residents and businesses in the Pine Area. The Foundation strives to enhance the college's standing as the most important source of postsecondary education and training and continuing education in the Pine Area and works with PTC to expand the relationships it has forged with businesses and the community. The annual Bridging the Dream campaign offers you a share in the success of this important institution. By making a gift to the college, you are helping yourself and your community!
