There are people and organizations that inspire us – through their examples, leadership and commitment. Allan Goldfarb was inspired to volunteer for the Paso del Norte Health Foundation by former CEO Myrna Deckert. A committed board member, he served as chair of the Health Foundation and a founding board member and chair of the Paso del Norte Community Foundation.

Allan and his wife, Amy, are especially committed to creating a region driven by the power of healthy living. They aspire for El Paso to be among the healthiest cities in Texas. Amy was a Division I college tennis player, still active on the courts today, and her parents ran marathons well into their 60s. Allan has been a long-distance runner and cyclist. His parents were active in tennis and golf.

Through their Goldfarb Fund for Health, Allan and Amy are supporting programs and initiatives that promote healthy eating and active living, ensuring that the residents of our region have the knowledge, resources, environment and support to live healthy, productive lives.
