Proceeds from runners, walkers and kids’ dashers, sponsors and donors benefit BC3’s intercollegiate athletics programs that have won 59 Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference and 29 National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region 20 championships. BC3’s programs have qualified for national championship tournaments 13 times and produced 40 All-American awards. “I think the community is really proud of our athletics programs,” said Megan M. Coval, BC3’s president, “and has a great appreciation and admiration for how hard our student-athletes work. They are doing their best in the classroom and many of them have jobs. Then they go out there on the court or course and come home winners.”
A race, a walk, and a dash on Sept. 13 will raise funds to support Butler County Community College intercollegiate athletic programs that have won 59 WPCC and 29 Region 20 titles, qualified for national championship tournaments 13 times, and turned 40 BC3 student-athletes into All-Americans. The college’s third Pioneer Pursuit will begin at 10 a.m. with a 5K race that includes three laps of the Shaffer Walking Trail that meanders inside BC3’s 330-acre main campus in Butler Township. The 1-mile walk starts at 10:30 a.m. and will include one lap of the trail. A 100-meter dash for children age 14 or under begins at 11 a.m. on College Drive across from Parking Lot 6. Thirty or more BC3 student-athletes are expected to volunteer at the Pioneer Pursuit, according to Alayna Chizmar, the college’s assistant director of student life for athletics.
A golf outing whose proceeds benefit Butler County Community College raised Aug. 1 the second-highest amount in its 30-year history, introduced to its 31 competing teams an opportunity to capitalize on the accuracy of a BC3 All-American and presented to the winning squad the Champions Cup only after a tiebreaker. Squads in the scramble format could pay $20 to purchase an orange ball to be driven on a par-3 hole by Jacob Marquardt, a BC3 student-athlete who earned the prestigious postseason award in golf in June. First National Bank received its second consecutive Champions Cup after winning a tiebreaker against the Alliance for Nonprofit Resources. Each team finished regulation at 15-under on the par-70 course, but First National Bank had posted a lower total on a scorecard playoff. The BC3 Education Foundation in 30 golf outings has raised approximately $1.56 million in unrestricted funds, including a record $115,000 in 2021, that will support BC3 resources such as adult literacy, a food pantry and the college’s community opioid addiction recovery program.
