This Father’s Day, our moms and children will be casting lines and making memories together at Strong’s Pavilion, just west of Helena.

This special day is possible thanks to the incredible generosity of Jerry Strong, who continues the legacy he built with his late wife, Brenda. Brenda’s life was shaped by the love and stability she received as a child, and she carried that compassion forward—dedicating herself to helping others facing similar challenges.

Today, that legacy lives on through opportunities like this—where families can spend time together, try something new, and simply enjoy being outdoors.
We are so grateful for every moment that allows our families to connect, grow, and create lasting memories.

Last Friday, our Child Enrichment Center celebrated Culture Day, a truly special moment for the kids and their families!

Each child had the opportunity to share something about their culture and heritage, and it was incredible to see the pride, joy, and curiosity in every presentation. It was wonderful to see the families get so involved, and help create this special moment for each child to share what makes them unique and special.
