Community

Farquharson is very active in the community. In 2014, she was one of 10 Arizona State University student-athletes who accompanied ASU American Indian students to Hopi and Navajo lands to bring the university to tribal nations, learn about native cultures and share in healthy activities. In addition to participating in a service project that consisted of clearing rocks to allow space for a new water line, students who joined the tour learned about traditional Hopi perspectives on running, participated in a Sun Devils 5k Run and 3k Walk and learned about Navajo contemporary and traditional culture. Farquharson has also participated in a number of other service projects, including Fantasy Flight, an event that takes place during the holidays in several United Airlines cities to help make a Christmas wish come true for children. More of her community service activities include volunteering at ASU’s annual Pat’s Run; visiting Phoenix Children’s Hospital to play games and do crafts with the patients to help bring some joy into their lives; helping out at Special Olympics; and assisting with serving food to the homeless.
