Dear Pio Parents:
Welcome to the Lewis & Clark Athletics community! By virtue
of being a parent of one (or more) of our student-athletes, you
have joined an elite group known as PAC Parents.
Pio Parents is a affinity for parents that enjoy being a part of
the Lewis & Clark Athletics community. Being an active
participant in this special family provides an avenue to reach out
to many of our 19 varsity sports and to the athletics community
here on the "Hill". It also engages you in the process of special
events and the important role current parents play in the overall
landscape of Pioneer Athletics. Our quarterly newsletter will keep
you informed and involved in all aspects of athletics, ranging from
upcoming events to pertinent information from within the athletics
department.
All of the outstanding accomplishments of our student-athletes
were possible through the support and commitment of our parents,
coaches, alumni and the entire college community. Pio Parents not
only will provide parents a better understanding of the college, it
will instill the common mantra that resonates with Lewis &
Clark athletics - "Pio Pride."
One of the goals of Pio Parent is to provide a link with our
parents by offering comprehensive information, volunteer
opportunities and an avenue of continued financial support for our
19 sports teams. Our parents provide us with a major percentage of
financial support. The Pioneer Athletics Club and the 19 men's and
women's individual sports funds are the private funds that assist
our coaches for:
- Enhance funds for the recruitment of quality
student-athletes
- Offset annual operating expenses for each team
- Create opportunities to celebrate the accomplishments of our
student-athletes
- Subsidize special team travel not covered by the sport's
budget
Lewis & Clark Athletics is excited to have you, and your son
or daughter as a part of the Pioneer family.
If you would like additional information on Pio Parents, please
contact me at either (503) 768-7710 or email at mbaker@lclark.edu
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Best Wishes,
Monica Baker
