Since 2006, Chairman, Andre Farr has helped raise more than $25 million for the benefit of underserved communities in the areas of entrepreneurial mentorship, health disparities and disabilities, youth education, financial literacy, sports and recreation. This year for the first time, he and Farr’s Best Enterprise, a Public Benefit Corporation, has accepted responsibility for leading this valiant effort through the Chairman’s Challenge.

 

 

The Chairman’s Challenge will focus primarily on Health and Wellness to fully engage the Farr’s Best mission of promoting positivity, proactivity and prevention as critical keys to reversing generational health disparities found in communities of color. 

 

Medical professionals and fitness experts have, for some time, published volumes of information indicating how the African American community (and other communities of color) have, for generations, suffered from High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, etc., because of a lack of education in and access to the latest health and wellness treatment modalities. 

 

Once again, Andre Farr is leading by example - he has pledged to lose 100 lbs for this very worthy cause. Monetary pledges for the Chairman’s Challenge will officially be accepted beginning 15 December 2020, and will continue to be generated over the course of the next six months, up to 15 June 2021.

 

 

Andre will follow a simple health and wellness plan designed for all!  Please note that he will be losing this weight under the guidance and direction of medical professionals and will model the exact behaviors we want our family, friends and communities to replicate as they look to improve their own health. As Andre makes specific changes to his diet, nutrition and exercise regimen, we will share that information with you. We will update all of you each month as he progresses through his weight loss journey, until he achieves his goal. The vision of this year’s Chairman’s Challenge is to educate our family and the community at-large about the myriad of tools available to help them better manage their individual health concerns and improve their quality of life.
