The Pride Behind the Panthers
Two communities.
One goal. All Panthers.
The Panthers Athletics Foundation funds and supports student-athletes across Southside and Rainbow City — every sport, every team, every season.
Who we are
One foundation for both cities
The Panthers Athletics Foundation exists to unite Southside and Rainbow City in providing opportunities, resources, and support that empower Panther student-athletes to become the best version of themselves — in the classroom, in competition, and in life.
We brand as one: Panthers. Not Southside, not Rainbow City. One identity that belongs to both communities and every athlete under it.
- Every sport Not just football. Every team gets the spotlight — down to the middle-school programs.
- Two communities Southside and Rainbow City, funded and represented under a single Panther identity.
- Year-round Support that runs across every season, not just one sport's window.
