What Is the All About the Love Free Throw-a-thon?
The All About the Love Free Throw-a-thon is much more than a basketball event—it’s an inspiring fusion of community connection, meaningful fundraising, and youth empowerment. Organized by the Watts Foundation, this dynamic initiative brings together Pacific Northwest families, athletes, and supporters, using the power of basketball to create life‑changing opportunities for local youth.
The Free Throw-a-thon is about multiplying the love that Slick Watts has passed on to the community. We invited our players and coaches to participate by shooting free throws and collecting pledges and be part of something bigger.
Why Your Pledge Matters
The goal for this year’s Free Throw-a-thon is to raise over $50,000 in 60 days. Each made shot and every pledge directly supports Watts Foundation programs. Your contribution helps:
Youth Scholarships for kids in Watts Foundation programs
- • Facility & Court Improvements
- • Center for Excellence where young people can grow mentally, physically, and emotionally
- • Slick Watts Mural that will inspire future generations long after the final free throw is made
Love, after all, is a renewable energy source—the more we give, the more its impact multiplies throughout the community.
Win Exciting Prizes too!
Here’s what participants and donors can expect:
- • Exclusive Swag
- • Limited-Edition Gear
- • Premium Raffle Experiences
- Qualifying donations enter you to win once-in-a-lifetime moments, including:
- • A day on the lake with the Watts Family
- • A hosted pickleball party
- • Private golf lessons with professional golfer Gilbert Quitlong
- More Community Unlocks as more sponsors join, additional prizes and experiences become available—meaning every pledge helps unlock more impact for everyone involved.
