PCC President Preston Pulliams celebrates making a six-foot putt with teammate David Osborne, senior vice president of Skanska. They were part of the Fifth Annual PCC Foundation Golf Invitational Tournament held at Heron Lakes Golf Course in North Portland on Thursday, Sept. 18. The two CEOs were part of an event, which features leaders and workers from the building construction industry, that helps raise funds for student scholarships through PCC’s Foundation. More than 228 golfers participated and $128,000 was raised this year – a record for the tourney.
