Project Blessings' Eight-Year Impact

A former New York lawyer, Kenneth "Ken" Randall served 20 years as the dean of the University of Alabama School of Law, during which time he pioneered two online master's degree programs and improved bar passage rates to approximately 97 percent. Additionally, Kenneth Randall did pro bono legal work for Project Blessings, a home-rebuilding nonprofit located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

After eight years of repairing homes in the Tuscaloosa region, Project Blessings announced it would be discontinuing operations as of June 1, 2017. Since its creation in 2009, the nonprofit has helped repair over 150 homes for low-income families. The inspiration for Project Blessings came as a result of a bedroom renovation project for a young girl who had serious medical issues. Upon arriving at her house, the group of volunteers realized the entire home needed renovation, which prompted a fund-raising effort that led to its first completed project. 

More than 500 volunteers of all ages have contributed to essential home repairs since the completion of that first project. Following a tornado in 2011, Project Blessings completed numerous repairs on homes in the communities of Rosedale and Alberta and also constructed a new men's homeless shelter in Tuscaloosa.

Giving Back with Project Blessings

President and CEO of iLaw & iLawGlobal, Kenneth (Ken) Randall is among scores of volunteers who give their time to Project Blessings, a nonprofit organization located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, dedicated to repairing the homes of those in need. Created after a 2011 tornado ravished the Alabama area, the organization sponsors several events a year with the help of its local team, including Kenneth Randall.

For the past five years, Project Blessings has changed the lives of dozens of families in the Tuscaloosa area. Donating home repairs and other services to those in the community with limited means, volunteers find the way to give that is best suited to their skill set. In addition to this year-round effort, several events are held each year that generate press exposure and subsequent donations for members of the community who are in need.

Recently, Project Blessings helped to open a men's homeless shelter, as the previous shelter was destroyed by the 2011 tornado. In addition to a yearly talent show, the association holds a donations-only Thanksgiving dinner each November, with all proceeds going to further the Project Blessings mission. With 50 volunteers waiting tables this past year, over 1,200 people enjoyed a hot meal and donated what they were able to help those less fortunate during the holiday season.

Double Digit Grand Slam Winners in the Open Era

The open era of tennis began in 1968, when the four major tournaments agreed to allow both amateur and professional players to compete. Since that time, only 10 singles players have been able to secure more than nine major titles. These players include five men and five women.

Roger Federer leads the men’s field with 17 major titles. He has won seven Wimbledon titles, including his first major championship at 2003 Wimbledon and his most recent major victory at the 2012 tournament. Federer is trailed by Rafael Nadal and Pete Sampras, both of whom have won 14 major titles throughout their careers. Novak Djokovic and Bjorn Borg, with 12 and 11 majors, respectively, are the only other men in the open era to win 10 or more grand slam tournaments. Of these five players, only Sampras and Borg are no longer active.

On the women’s tour, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams both hold 22 major titles, more than any other singles players in the history of open tennis. Graf is the only player on the women’s tour to win all four major titles in the same year and one of only two players to do so during the open era. Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova share second place with 18 total majors. Australian Margaret Court finished her career with 11 major titles. Of the five women's players to win 10 or more majors, only Williams remains active.
