About JP Blecksmith Memorial 5K
The J.P. Blecksmith Leadership Foundation (JPBLF) was formed in 2005 to honor the memory of Marine 2nd Lieutenant J.P. Blecksmith. The specific purpose of the non-profit corporation (Tax ID# 20-2839539) is to raise money through fundraisers, namely the JP Blecksmith Memorial 5K, held every July 4th in his hometown of San Marino, California. The majority of the event\'s proceeds and other donations go to support a memorial scholarship fund established in his honor at his high school alma mater, Flintridge Preparatory School in La Canada, California. In addition, proceeds can be used for any other similar charitable matter or organization to perpetuate and to honor the legacy of J.P. Blecksmith through public charitable works.
