John Blalock

Co-founder and vice president

I am a sophomore at Augusta University, majoring in political ​science with a minor in biology. Growing up, my family instilled in ​me the importance of helping others, a value deeply ingrained by my ​grandfather, who served as a colonel in the Air Force. His stories of ​giving back to the community and supporting fellow veterans left a ​profound impact on me. I am driven by a desire to honor his legacy ​and contribute meaningfully to the lives of those who have served ​our country.


Throughout my lifetime I have participated in, organized, and ​contributed to numerous fundraisers and philanthropic efforts. ​However, I often find that the tangible impact of these donations on ​our local community is not visible. The Marrs Project was born out ​of a desire to change that. I wanted to create a platform where ​supporters can see exactly how their efforts make a difference, ​connecting them with the real-life narratives of the veterans they ​are helping. This initiative is not just about raising funds; it’s about ​fostering a deeper connection and understanding between our ​community and the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.
