President’s Challenge
PAC 8 Board of Directors President Dave Schiferl will match each dollar donated to PAC 8 with one of his own, up to $600. Your donations totaling $600 will give $1,200 to PAC 8. Schiferl’s offer does not apply to bids, only to outright donations to PAC 8. Donate by emailing Jean Gindreau at pac8@losalamos.com or texting (505) 920-5845 during the auction.
The auction can be found at https://pac8cmc.com/pac-8-auction-2026.html or go to pac8cmc.com and click on auction. The website looks better on a computer as opposed to a mobile phone. The auction continues through March 31. PAC 8 thanks you for your support.
