Friends of PAC had an outstanding year and we are so thankful for the overwhelming community support! We continued our annual fundraising efforts and added an amazing running race to our calendar; Midnight on the Mesa. From all of these events as well as the generosity of board members, private donors, local businesses, grants and sponsorships, Friends of PAC provided PAC with an incredible $98,323.40 in funding support!
These dollars support ongoing services and programs at PAC and ensure access to healthy affordable recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities in our community. Friends of PAC is proud to have supported the following at PAC:
68 hours of enrichment instruction during summer camp including art, dance, STEAM activities and movement.
$6,682 in funding for tuition assistance for summer camp attendees; an impressive 266% increase compared to previous years.
439 youth student athletes benefited from participating in Jr Wrangler sports including flag and tackle football, volleyball, basketball, track, and, new this year, soccer.
388 local youth completed swim lessons, a critical life skill. Of these, 76 received their lesson at no cost thanks to vouchers made possible by grant funding from the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation.
Assisted with maintenance of facility and public hours for 88,313 visits in 2021!
