Portland Community College will host Lane Community College in a basketball doubleheader on Saturday. The games will have weighted meaning as PCC continues to remember former standout Chris Bendle, a beloved member of the Portland Community College basketball team who died in a car accident more than five years ago.
“It’s a great opportunity for the community to come together,” PCC athletic director Tony Broadous said. “Scappoose (where Chris was from), St. Helens, Portland.”
“(It will be in memory of) a young man who worked very hard and was a really giving person,” Broadous continued.
Broadous says a fundraiser is held every season for a cause near and dear to the local community.
“The proceeds from the games goes to the Chris Bendle (Basketball Scholarship, which) supports young people,” Broadous said. “It is just a great opportunity for the community to come together.”
