About Watson Tennis Pro Am Weekend
Watson Children’s Shelter and Scott have put in tremendous effort to ensure this event is all-encompassing. When discussing the various ways to participate and contribute throughout the weekend, Scott emphasized that while playing with a pro can be costly, the event offers an incredible opportunity to watch former world-class players in an exciting pro/pro doubles tournament on Friday night.
Additionally, attendees can actively engage in the experience by bidding on silent auction items and even have a chance to win guided fishing trips on Thursday. For the enthusiastic young ones, there’s the junior pro-am on Friday morning, and for those who wish to contribute their time, volunteering is also an option.
This makes the entire weekend exceptionally special, especially knowing that the funds raised will be directed toward supporting underprivileged children in Western Montana who have faced challenging circumstances.

About The Watson Children's Shelter
Each year, over 100 kids — infant to age 14 — are brought to Watson Children’s Shelter. These children arrive in need of a stable place to land, and our goal is to insure this landing pad is adaptable enough to meet our children’s needs regardless of the condition in which they arrive.
While some children may only be in our care for a few days, on average, children stay at the shelter for around 60 days. Some children may stay longer until their family crisis is resolved or longer-term supportive care can be arranged. We welcome children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Our Missions is to provide safety, nurturing, and stability to children & families through quality services and trauma-informed care.
At Watson we believe it is essential that our actions aline with our values. This includes who we hire and retain as staff, the volunteers that make up our board of directors, what we set as our strategic objectives, and how we go about our work in our programs. The following values are the foundation of our organization and set the expectation and tone for our working culture.
