It’s always special to spend time @blankchildrens with Dr. Steve Stephenson but especially so on #MrBlankDay. The poignant quote on the back of his t-shirt is from Mr. A.H. Blank.
Fun day celebrating founder A.H. Blank birthday AND friend @raycoletv birthday. Fitting today we celebrate GIVING rather than receiving. Part of proceeds from @Raycoletv book Hangin with Winners came to help patients and families! #BeLikeMrBlank

Great day with @StarkDavid1462 and @UnityPointDSM. The founder of Blank Children’s brought treats in on his birthday every year and @DeltaDentalIA celebrated Mr. Blank Day by providing free coffee to health care professionals. You all are our heroes!
