Welcome to the 21st annual paul blank invitational
|
September 26, 2018 – The Paul Blank Invitational is finally old enough to get drunk at Clyde's the night before thanksgiving. It's hard to remember that first year, that rainy morning in 1998; Google had yet to be founded, Instagram wasn't a thing yet, and the titanic was shattering box office records and young boys' innocence across the country. The game was soon dubbed as the Paul Blank Invitational.
2018, or to be more accurate, the year the Caps finally won, has been no less exciting for the PBI Board. |

Michael Feldman is a Neurosurgery resident at Vanderbilt and has gotten at least 3 nights of sleep since PBI XX. Jonathan Sachs not only tricked someone into marrying him, but was also recently promoted to Associate Vice President of Patient Experience at Adventist HealthCare (he swears this is a real job, not just a greeter at the door). Aaron Schooler continues to ignore Amazon by investing in retail real estate and will be cap off the year by marrying his fiancé on New Year’s Eve in New York.
Speaking of our illustrious Mr. Blank, CNN/Fox News polling has been projecting that Paul has seen his numbers improving with the tumult of midterms, and his rating on Rate My Teachers has climbed to an "acceptable" 3.81.
Much has changed for the PBI and it's board members. The brave men and women, the Fulops and Zimmermans of the world are now in their late 50s and are past their peaks. The second generation of board members has grown wiser, balder, and more fertile. And the classes that were born before the millennium are increasingly excited to sit on the sidelines and watch. But some things about our venerable game have not changed; the Paul Blank invitational continues to promote a sense of community and raise funds for incredible causes, as well as introduce people to George Washington’s letter to a Rhode Island Synagogue. To that end, It has never been more necessary to take a morning out of the year, a brief 2-4 (or 8 hours if you end up in the emergency room) to celebrate the things we share, like our sense of community and Tikkun Olam.
This year, for the 21st annual Paul Blank Invitational, your hard earned money will help to support Nechama, the Jewish Response to Disaster. In a year which has seen Hurricane Florence decimate the southeast, organizations like Nechama show their value.
Keep an eye open on the Facebook page for the start of registration. Kick off for the 21st Paul Blank Invitational will be at 10 AM sharp – See you on the field!
