Friends of PAC
Back the PAC
Friends of PAC ensures supplemental funding and community engagement for ongoing recreational services and facilities in support of
the Pinedale Aquatic Center (PAC).
Through your support and local partnerships, we help sustain programs and community opportunities at PAC. Could you imagine our
community without the PAC?
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.

Real Stories. Real Impact.
“PAC keeps me in shape as I age. Just because I am retired doesn't mean I have slowed down physically! I swim, use the track, fitness machines and even the hot tub. PAC is awesome for us and visiting family.”
— Karla Bird, Board Member
“PAC plays an essential role in the community for myself and for my family. I am proud to be able to support Friends of PAC as a local business owner to ensure all have access to the facility and its programs.”
— Andrew M, Blue Spruce Operating
“I donate because I’ve seen firsthand what happens when communities lose places like PAC, connection fades. Here, every dollar truly stays local. It keeps kids active, parents supported, and seniors moving. I’m proud to be part of that.”
