IQ Formulations Announces Charitable Gift to National Alliance to End Homelessness in Recognition of National Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week

Tamarac, FL , Nov. 24, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IQ Formulations, an industry-leading provider of health and nutritional supplements, today announced its charitable support of the National Alliance to End Homelessness (The Alliance). With Thanksgiving right around the corner kicking off the holiday season, IQ Formulations is giving back by providing financial support to the homeless community, and by helping raise awareness following National Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week which took place November 14 – 22, 2015.

The National Alliance to End Homelessness is dedicated to preventing homelessness through improving policy, building capacity and educating opinion leaders. Through its Center for Capacity Building, the Alliance assists communities nationwide with transforming policy solutions and effective best practices into real, on-the-ground programs. The Homelessness Research Institute (HRI), the Alliance’s research and education arm, collects critical data that helps shape the Alliance’s services and programs delivered to the homeless community, such as how-to kits and technical assistance trainings.

“IQ Formulations feels privileged to be able to help people each and every day become the healthiest versions of themselves through our health and nutritional supplements,” said IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen. “While we are thankful for our ability to provide healthful solutions, we also feel tremendous compassion toward the homeless community – especially as we approach the holiday season. With over 600,000 homeless Americans, many due to uncontrollable circumstances, it is an even more meaningful privilege for IQ Formulations to help this community through our support of the National Alliance to End Homelessness.”

IQ Formulations is dedicated to helping those in need – especially those without homes. The homeless community is comprised of families, children, teenagers, veterans, the elderly and people with disabilities that live amid desperate conditions and instability. IQ Formulations is committed to providing support to help end to homelessness so that no American should live in such devastation. The company hopes that the announcement of its meaningful gift will inspire a communal call-to-action to join in its benevolent spirit of giving, especially as the holiday season approaches.

IQ Formulations Supports National Breast Cancer Foundation and Raises Awareness During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

IQ Formulations Supports National Breast Cancer Foundation and Raises Awareness During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Tamarac, FL (PRWEB) October 12, 2015

To help raise awareness this October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, IQ Formulations today announced its charitable donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The National Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to providing help and inspiring hope in those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.

The annual campaign to increase breast cancer awareness each October is an opportune time to remind women and their families about the importance of early detection through regular mammograms. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, making breast cancer one of the leading health crises for women in the United States.

“I am deeply and personally committed to donating to this charity in honor of my angel of a grandmother who lost her fight to breast cancer,” said IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen. “Today, there is still no known cure for breast cancer. I hope that our support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s initiatives can help the organization inspire women who have been affected, and educate all women about the importance of regular checkups since early identification is critical to the survival of those diagnosed with breast cancer.”

The National Breast Cancer Foundation offers a National Mammography Program that provides mammograms for women who are uninsured or cannot afford them. IQ Formulations hopes that raising awareness this month about the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s free early detection initiative will help save lives.

IQ Formulations is also calling on the community to spread the word about this initiative, viewing this important issue as a collective responsibility. Education and awareness are the first steps to helping people overcome serious health challenges, which is why IQ Formulations remains dedicated to providing philanthropic support to various health-related non-profits including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Jackson Center for Conductive Education, Camp Fiesta, Wounded Warrior Project, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Humane Association.

With top-quality products, outstanding facilities, unparalleled customer service and industry-leading standards, IQ Formulations has established a nationwide reputation for excellence in health and nutritional supplements. The company has been named to Inc. Magazine’s fastest growing private companies list for the past two years and was also honored as one of GrowFL’s Companies to Watch for 2015.

IQ Formulations Makes Charitable Donation to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) May 07, 2015

IQ Formulations, an industry-leading provider of health and nutritional supplements, today announced its generous charitable donation to help support the vital research and efforts of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. “Dedicated to curing spinal injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy” – the mission statement of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation offers hope and comfort to countless people who suffer from spinal injury.

IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen is a staunch supporter of the cutting edge research, hope and assistance provided by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

“In 1995, I was in a terrible accident which resulted in a painful and severely broken back,” recalled Jay Cohen. “While I was incredibly fortunate to make a full recovery, countless others continue to face the tremendous daily challenges resulting from spinal injuries for the rest of their lives. With firsthand understanding of just how serious and detrimental an injury of this nature can be, I feel it’s my personal obligation to support this important organization which does so much good to help those affected by these injuries and holds a tremendous personal meaning for me.”

A firm believer in the Reeve Foundation’s commitment to empowering individuals affected by paralysis with the best knowledge, resources, support and community, IQ Formulations encourages others to also support this Foundation’s remarkable initiative to help people with paralysis live a dignified life. The original founders of the Reeve Foundation created the initiative when spinal cord research received minimal attention. The tragic injury suffered by Christopher Reeve dramatically changed this field of research to emerge as one of the most promising.

It takes a community to help those in need, which is why IQ Formulations remains dedicated to making a meaningful difference through philanthropy. Renowned for its generous philanthropy, IQ Formulations supports a variety of noble charities including St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the American Red Cross, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and ASPCA. These charities, among many others, are profoundly important to Jay Cohen, his employees, and the overall core values shared by IQ Formulations.

With top-quality products, outstanding facilities, unparalleled customer service and industry-leading standards, IQ Formulations had established a nationwide reputation for excellence in health and nutritional supplements.

Their assistance has helped immeasurably with the expansion that is underway, and we look forward to their continued assistance as we grow and create additional jobs in South Florida.”

Work has already commenced on IQ Formulations’ new high-tech facility and the company hopes to move in by the end of the year. The upgraded location will include enhanced production capabilities, and will be home to the company’s recently expanded Quality Control and Assurance Department.

IQ Formulations has expanded rapidly over the past few years, generating dozens of new jobs. The company was named by Inc. Magazine as the 50th fastest growing private company in the United States.
