Veteran New York rapper Styles P of the legendary Rap trio The LOX has dedicated over a decade of his career to helping build healthy communities through his health and wellness ventures Juices For Life and, more recently, Farmacy For Life and, more recently, Juice 2 Heal. On Saturday, August 31 2024, the rapper’s nonprofit organization Farma Cares is set to host the inaugural Plant-Based BBQ at the Nepperhan Community Center in Yonkers, New York.
Free and open to the public, the Weill Cornell Medicine-sponsored event will feature music provided by the legendary Large Professor, and a lineup of interactive cooking and juicing demonstrations, kids’ activities, and delicious plant-based meals. As the first event of its kind in Westchester County, the BBQ aims to introduce the community to the numerous benefits of plant-based eating, cancer prevention, and overall wellness in a fun, engaging environment.
This family-friendly event offers more than just great food. Attendees will also gain valuable insights into health and nutrition through expert-led workshops on cancer prevention and the benefits of plant-based diets. The event will play a crucial role in Farma Cares’ mission to provide underrepresented communities with access to health education and healthier lifestyle options. With the passionate leadership of organization co-founders Styles P, Daniel Dapaah, and Justin Leigh Tolbert, Esq., Farma Cares is determined to create lasting positive impacts in the community.
