Why Your Support Matters
PAC is a cornerstone of Sublette County, welcoming more than 100,000 visitors annually.
The costs of operating PAC have risen dramatically over the past years. Despite these increased expenses, PAC has maintained
programs and services consistent with community demands. PAC continues to provide amazing programming such as 37 fitness
classes weekly, Learn to Swim program, and childcare for patrons.
The Recreation Mill provides 55% of PAC revenue, with internal programs, services, and memberships accounting for another 18-20 percent. For the remaining diversifying funds, Friends of PAC plays an important role.
While PAC receives Sublette County School District, recreation mill funding, membership fees, and private donations support the annual budget, there is still a funding gap. That gap is what drives our Friends of PAC mission.
Every donation, big or small, goes directly to supporting the programs and PAC opportunities you love.
