History of Halftime
BOB BUFORD is known for being the voice of a generation, a prolific author, speaker, and philanthropist whose immense and widespread contribution to business leadership, personal transformation, and the growth of the modern church cannot be measured. Bob’s book Halftime began a movement of an entire generation of successful business professionals transitioning to a LIFE OF EVEN GREATER SIGNIFICANCE…
Until the sale of his company in July 1999, Bob Buford served as Chairman of the Board and CEO of Buford Television, Inc., a family owned business that started with a single ABC affiliate in Tyler, Texas, and grew to a network of cable systems across the country.
What follows is a brief description of initiatives that reflect his interests both as an entrepreneur and as someone who sought to make a difference through the application of his faith and resources under the general mission of transforming the latent energy of American Christianity into active energy.
“As for me, I have decided that just about all that will be left of me when I leave this earth is what I can let go of to invest in the lives of others. The fruit of my life and my work will grow on other people’s trees.”
“We are wired for purposeful human connection and contribution, and without it, we wither.”
– Bob Buford, Author and Founder
