Pittsburgh Curling Club
The Pittsburgh Curling Club (or PCC) is a curling club located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is one of only four curling clubs in Pennsylvania, the other three being the Philadelphia Curling Club, the Bucks County Curling Club, and the Anthracite Curling Club (formally the Scranton Curling Club). The PCC is an arena curling club that was founded in 2002 with 12 members, and as of 2009 it has grown to include over 120 members.〔McCaffrey, Kate. (“Curious Sport of Curling Sweeps Away Winter Blahs” ) Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. January 18, 2009.〕
==Origin==
The Pittsburgh Curling Club was founded in May 2002, after months of emails and discussions between several ex-pat Canadians and local Pittsburgh residents.〔Price, Karen. ("Curling gaining in popularity in Western Pa." ) Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Mar. 14, 2008.〕 The twelve founding members rented ice for 26 weeks at Robert Morris University (RMU) Island Sports Center to start offering Learn-to-Curl sessions. Initially, the members had to draw the curling sheet lines and circles by hand prior to playing their games.〔Klimovich Harrop, JoAnne. ("A Sport that gained fame at the Salt Lake Olympics is just a stone's throw away" ) Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Nov. 3, 2002.〕 But as of 2006, the lines are painted on the ice prior to the start of the season.
In 2007, the Pittsburgh Curling Club received its 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization.〔("Non-Profit Report: Pittsburgh Curling Club" ) GuideStar〕 The mission of the club is:
...to teach, develop, promote and encourage the sport of Curling; to develop youth and adult programs that lead to local, national and international competition; to coordinate and develop interscholastic competition; and to teach the sport to youth organizations as well as to interested adults by creating public awareness and appreciation for the sport.〔("Pittsburgh Curling Club Bylaws" ).
