Established in 2021, this fund was created in memory of Blake Erdmann, Class of ’17, and will provide a meaningful scholarship to a Benjamin student who exhibits the honorable characteristics and joy for life that defined Blake’s all too short life.
Blake, who was an award-winning, four-year Benjamin Varsity Lacrosse player who went on to play at Washington College, is remembered as a young man who exuded energy and an appetite for life that few know. A fiercely loyal friend and teammate, he was known to be courageous, charismatic, spontaneous, fair, kind and a leader on and off the athletic field. Each year, a Benjamin student athlete who embodies the same values that made Blake a well-rounded and unique person will be bestowed with this scholarship.
