Against any common sense whatsoever, The Hopski is back again for the 21st year!
ENTER PICKS HERE - HOPSKI INTERNATIONAL POOL WEBSITE
A forewarning, especially before you start firing off critical emails or posts in say 10 days about a drop in quality this year - expect it! Given the ridiculous cost of living in Palo Alto, I am working two jobs :) Well not really - but it is a fact and this was not the plan. I dearly miss my "old" life.....that shall return sooner than later. In the meantime, the 2019 may pay the price a bit with reduced commentary, blog posts and updates, but it WILL continue on THE Hopski tradition for the 21st year!!
Back for a 2nd consecutive year will be the tax deductible entry fee option (or built in contribution) to the benefit of Great Lakes Outreach, a charity for the betterment of Burundi that is run by a good friend of mine, Simon Guillebaud and I have an unfortunate far to passive presence on its Board. $5 of each $30 Hopski entry fee will go straight to GLO. Last year, the 1st for this GLO funding, we raised $2,289 for Burundi. THAT is the big reason the Hopski is continuing beyond its 20 year shelf life!!
IF $5 seems paltry - for many of you I can certainly imagine this being the case - I am looking out for you!! Go straight to the GLO website and make a fully tax deductible donation of at least $50 and your Hopski entry will be FREE (email me a donation confirmation please!) Nothing like a bit of ingenuity towards making your Hopski participation tax deductible!!!
I trust this will not sway your enthusiasm for the Hopski as we enter a March that promises to be madder and more wide open than ever albeit for the 3rd consecutive year without the Indiana Hoosiers - geesh - terrible!!
The website will be up and running for your entry in the next 24 hours!!
PREPARE!!!
