Synergy Partnerships

In 2009, the Justin Blalock Foundation teamed up with the Training for Excellence organization to present its annual Teen Leadership Purpose and Destiny Conference. The Conference offered workshops on careers, relationships, and finances that help to build self-esteem and confidence in youth, how to handle peer pressure, college preparation tips, goal setting, money management, time management, communication skills, and how to create a winning attitude.

In 2009, The Justin Blalock Foundation also supported the Man Up! program and the Top Achievers Foundation. Here are a couple of comments from students that benefited from the Foundation’s support.

“I traveled to Hsinchu Taiwan representing the City of Plano and the United States as a member of the 2009 Plano Youth Ambassador. This appointment was granted by DFW Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce after I underwent a rigorous interview to gain a spot on the delegation. The support from Justin Blalock Foundation made this experience possible”. -Malcolm Mann

“I currently workout on basketball skills at Top Achievers Foundation and received “New Comer of the Year” honors. Scholarship offers are pouring in from Colorado University, Southern Methodist University, Boston College to name a few. If it wasn’t for Justin Blalock Foundation’s support I would have not be able to attend the summer show cases to be seen by colleges coaches or showcase my talents”. -Rashad Smith
