Panthers Athletics Foundation

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 Every sport gets the spotlight, from the middle-school up!
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.

Both communities, one sideline.
