💚 WHAT IF BEING YOUR OWN BEST HEALTH ADVOCATE STARTS WITH SIMPLY KNOWING MORE?

Your health is too important to leave to chance.

At Fairway Cares, we see hard health situations all the time. We see the fear, the uncertainty, the questions and the impact they have on individuals and families. And that’s exactly why Beyond the Box was created — to share stories, conversations and knowledge that go beyond the Fairway Cares package.

Sometimes, caring means showing up with a package.

Sometimes, it means helping someone become more educated about their own health.

Recently, at the Fairway Dare to Shine Women’s EmpowerHer Summit, Ashley Purdy joined us as a guest speaker — and she brought a WEALTH of knowledge, insight and encouragement that we knew was too valuable to keep in that room!

🎙️ In this NEW episode of Beyond the Box, Ashley talks about the importance of becoming educated about your health, understanding your body and being proactive in your own health journey.

Ashley is the founder of Renew Company LLC, an integrative medicine and regenerative athletics clinic focused on helping people better understand and optimize their health and performance.

This conversation is filled with information that may make you stop, think and ask some new questions about YOUR health.

💚 We invite you to listen. Get educated. Get curious. And become your own best health advocate.

Because when it comes to our health…

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

The smiles… PRICELESS! 💚

Capturing the activities of the day and the opportunity to spread a little Fairway Cares LOVE, encouragement, and HOPE was such a gift.

A heartfelt thank you to Badger Challenge Co-Founder & Director Deric Wheeler, Alyse Peters, Director of Community Engagement, and Dr. Zac Morris, UW Health Radiation Oncologist, for bringing people together around such an important mission.

Bringing awareness, building community, raising critical research dollars, and reminding those impacted by cancer that they are seen, valued, loved, and never alone — this is what happens when people come together with purpose. 🙏💚

We are so grateful to be given the opportunity to be a small part of something making such a meaningful difference.

💚 When you show up to serve, you never know how deeply the experience will impact your own heart.

Our sweet Champion Amy Buck from Corporate Accounting recently served at the Badger Challenge for the very first time, and she’s sharing a little about the impact the experience had on her.

Being part of a day filled with community, hope and purpose — and seeing firsthand how we can bring encouragement to children and families facing cancer — is something that stays with you. 💚

We are so grateful for Champions like Amy who continue to say YES to serving, loving and making a difference.

Sometimes the greatest impact comes when we simply show up. ❤️

💚 CHAMPION SPOTLIGHT: MICHELE BALDWIN 💚

Today, we are honored to spotlight Michele Baldwin, Branch Manager in Eden Prairie, MN, who has been part of the Fairway family for over 9 years!

If there’s one word that comes to mind when we think of Michele, it’s TENACITY. Whether she’s pursuing her fitness goals or pouring herself into her business, Michele is determined, driven and always willing to put in the work.

But what makes Michele truly exceptional is that her competitive spirit is matched by an incredible heart for serving and loving others. ❤️

From her family, to her team, to those who simply need a little encouragement and hope through Fairway Cares, Michele steps up — whenever and wherever she is needed.

She reminds us that being a champion isn’t just about what you accomplish. It’s about who you lift up along the way.

Michele, thank you for being a champion on so many levels and for living out what it means to lead with COURAGE, LOVE, STRENGTH and HOPE. We are so grateful for YOU! 💚

💗 Fighting Cancer. Funding Hope. Creating Impact. 💗

I had the incredible honor of visiting with Deric Wheeler, Director and Co-Founder of the Badger Challenge, and learning more about the heart behind this incredible organization and why the Badger Challenge is so important in the fight against cancer.

Hearing Deric share the story, passion, and purpose behind raising funds for cancer research was truly inspiring. Every dollar raised represents hope for better treatments, more breakthroughs, and ultimately, more lives impacted. 🎗️

And this Sunday, September 27, we’re excited to be part of the Badger Challenge!

💚 Join Fairway Cares in the KidZone as we create special care packages for kids with cancer — bringing a little LOVE, COURAGE, STRENGTH and HOPE to children and families who are walking through an incredibly difficult journey.

Thank you, Deric, for sharing your heart and the why behind the Badger Challenge!
