Permian Basin Oilman's Bass Invitational

Permian Basin Oilman's Bass Invitational For over 30 years the PBOBI has been bringing the Oil Industry together to help the Make a Wish Foundation brighten the lives of children and their families.

The Permian Basin Oilman’s Bass Invitational (PBOBI) began in 1995 with the intent of promoting camaraderie between oilfield workers. However, in going beyond a weekend of fun and fishing, the PBOBI decided to make the event a charitable fundraiser. Sponsorship of a worthy cause created a focus for the event and provided an outlet for demonstrating the generosity of the oilfield. After careful con

sideration, the PBOBI board selected the West Texas Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation as the beneficiary of the tournament’s proceeds. After 7 years, due to the high number of sponsors and participants from southeastern New Mexico, the tournament expanded its reach to include the New Mexico Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Associating the tournament with the children of the Make-A-Wish Foundation has made participation in the PBOBI an enriching and rewarding experience.
