Pioneers Helping March Madness Fans Prepare For Battle…

Aron Phillips, a Lewis & Clark alum and former practice player for our team, reached out to the L&C athletes to help out with a local Nike basketball event put on last weekend by  “Dime Magazine”. The event centered around the NCAA tournament, as Portland’s Rose Quarter was selected as one of the tournament locations.

Emily, Christina, Talerra and Kim, along with several other L&C students and alumni, offered their time, spending all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Nike Pro Combat Station, helping prepare March Madness fans for battle. “Battleproofing” fans was the main objective, as they offered face paint, free t-shirts, food, a custom photo booth and the NIKEiD studio. The event also allowed our players an opportunity to be introduced to many executives of Nike and Dime Magazine.
