Tim Tebow was an amazing inspiration to all who met him or heard his message at Joy Ranch and the Watertown Civic Arena on Friday, June 21, 2024. American Bank & Trust was honored to be the MVP Sponsor for the event and had staff on hand to help at the event. His unwavering love for others was truly evident no matter who he met that day or evening! We were all blessed by Tim’s message.

Here is a quote from Tim’s keynote message to the 3,000 in attendance at the Watertown Civic Arena: “We don’t determine our own natural-born talents and skill sets, but we can determine our mindset and how hard we work at something. So much time is wasted focusing on what we can’t control instead of what we can. Whatever the Lord’s given you, give it your all and watch how He’ll use it; like Miss Joy serves others through Joy Ranch. The ultimate form of love is choosing the best interest of someone, regardless of how it affects us!”

Tim continued, “How will you put someone else’s needs above your own today? Are you going to look back and be proud of your promotions, your titles, your success? Or do you want to be a person who loved others along the way and changed their lives for the better?”

Mike Paulson, Watertown Market President of American Bank & Trust, shared his thoughts on the event: “What an incredible event hosted and organized by Joy Ranch! American Bank & Trust was honored to be the MVP Sponsor for this event. Our involvement signifies our dedication to supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals. We were honored to contribute to such a worthy cause.
