Our Story
The Pat and Gary Watkins Charitable Foundation was formally established in 2024, but its beginnings preceded that by many decades. It is founded in the desire to help those around us and in our community to ascend to new ridge lines and to find serenity in beautiful valleys.
“Do your best
Think through it – you can figure it out
Don’t call others names
Don’t steal their toys
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all
Be Kind
Share your best toy – Better yet, Give it away
Listen to the lonely one, or – just Listen to all
Find a friend by always Being Friendly
Love your enemies
Bless them that curse you
Have empathy
Be compassionate
Smile – Spread Joy
It’s HIS Wonderful World – Share its Wonders!”
– Pat & Gary Watkins
