State Farm Insurance Companies has gone far beyond being a good neighbor. State Farm Insurance has made it their mission to ensure the longevity of the 100 Black Men of America and our global efforts to educate young people. State Farm Insurance recognized the jewels within our International competitions. The African American History Challenge where chapters across the network compete with their peers to learn and demonstrate their knowledge of African American history. Our Dollars and $ense competition, which has elevated the financial literacy rates among our young mentees and their parents, teaches competitors about capital markets, retirement planning, business plan development, corporate annual reporting and more. Both competitions culminate with a championship at our Annual Conference where we display some of the brightest young people on the planet. State Farm Insurance was one of our first partners to commit to a multi-year partnership valued at over $1 million. While State Farm Insurance was impacting the 100 globally; it decided to help launch a chapter in their headquarters’ city of Bloomington, Illinois. The 100 Black Men of Central Illinois is producing research data, further validating the importance of the 100's mission. State Farm Insurance has been a great neighbor and an essential partner in the history of the 100 Black Men of America.
