CORVALLIS, Ore. – U.S. Bank, one of the preeminent financial institutions in the United States, will be the Official Bank of the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) through 2023-24, CCC Commissioner Robert Cashell announced.
“The way U.S. Bank recognizes and supports our institutions and over 3,000 student athletes is truly special, stated Cashell.” “We are so proud to continue a relationship with a company that shares a passion for high achievement and pursuit of excellence.”
The CCC’s 12 full and 11 associate member institutions, based in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, California, Arizona and Canada, will compete for CCC championships in 15 sports this upcoming year including men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s wrestling softball, baseball, men’s and women’s golf and men’s and women’s track and field.

"U.S. Bank has a long-standing commitment to supporting our local communities, and our strong relationship with the Cascade Collegiate Conference is something our teams in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana take a great deal of pride in,” said Ryan Killgore, U.S. Bank Community Banking Division president. “We are particularly proud of the U.S. Bank Academic All-Conference award and look forward to seeing the number of student athletes earning that achievement through their hard work and dedication in the classroom continue to grow.”
