Watts Brewing March Madness Pool
We cordially invite you to celebrate the men’s NCAA tournament with us at Watts Brewing Company! Submit your bracket through the ESPN website (pool name “Watts Brewing Company 2025”) for the chance to win Watts swag! We are using this pool as an opportunity to raise money for the Roger & Ann Watts Family Scholarship for bees and pollination education. We ask that you make an optional donation to the scholarship fund (suggested donation $20). Out of the people watching at the taproom, the bracket with the most points from that day’s games will win Watts merch! See the schedule below for the full prize list.
About the Scholarship
The Roger & Ann Watts Family Scholarship was established with contributions from the Watts family to the Treasure Valley Community College Foundation for the purpose of providing scholarship support to students planning to study Bees/Pollination or Agriculture. As a science teacher and beekeeper, Roger (now retired) devoted his career to education and to raising bees to address the lack of pollination. We invite you to help educate the next generation of beekeepers by supporting the scholarship fund!
how to donate
The scholarship fund is administered by the Treasure Valley Community College Foundation. You can use their PayPal donations portal. Under “Use this donation for” select “Scholarships”, then enter “Roger & Ann Watts Family Scholarship” on the second screen. Your donation will go towards the endowment of this scholarship. This year we’re also matching the first $1000 that you donate, so each dollar you donate has double the impact!
