Camp Fiesta Receives Meaningful Donation from IQ Formulations Just in Time for Summer

Camp Fiesta Receives Meaningful Donation from IQ Formulations Just in Time for Summer

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) May 18, 2015

With summer and youth camp season quickly approaching, IQ Formulations just made a very meaningful contribution to Camp Fiesta. This South Florida-based camp is the official pediatric oncology camp for the youngsters of Children’s Cancer Caring Center, Inc., and is also open to pediatric cancer patients from other hospitals.

IQ Formulations is committed to ensuring that Camp Fiesta is prepared with the necessary means and finances to provide its fifty campers the best summer camp experience possible. At Camp Fiesta, children with cancer between the ages of 7-15 enjoy a nine-day sleepover camp intended to build independence in a family-style environment that strengthens the campers both physically and emotionally.

“After learning about Camp Fiesta through my next-door neighbors’ involvement, I immediately knew that I wanted to help,” said IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen. “Camp Fiesta never ceases to amaze me. While small in size, the impact this camp has upon the children and families involved is immeasurable. Camp Fiesta is a truly beautiful charity, run by loving and caring people, and doing tremendous things year after year.”

IQ Formulations maintains its commitment to excellence not only through its premier products and facilities, but also through its support of those who face serious health challenges. The company is headquartered in Sunrise, Florida and active in the local community, so supporting South Florida’s first and largest camp for children with cancer located in Broward County was a natural fit. IQ Formulations hopes that raising awareness about how meaningful Camp Fiesta is for children with cancer will inspire like-minded community members to also help contribute to this important local initiative.

IQ Formulations firmly believes in giving back, and provides philanthropic support to the multiple charities that hold special meaning for Jay Cohen and the IQ Formulations staff. These include, but are not limited to: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the Wounded Warrior Project, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Humane Association.

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. Last year, the company was named to Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing companies in the country.

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) August 27, 2014

IQ Formulations, a leading manufacturer of health and nutritional supplements, today announced its continued support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. For an entire month this summer, IQ Formulations participated in a fundraising campaign led by TigerFitness.com in which 5 percent of the proceeds from all of IQ Formulations’ sales were donated to the respected nonprofit organization.

We hope that our latest donation will help bring the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation one step closer to finding a cure for this chronic disease affecting the lives of tens of thousands of people.”

Led by CEO Jay Cohen, IQ Formulations has continually displayed a deep dedication to giving back, particularly to charitable organizations that help children. A proud and devoted father of two, Jay loves kids and has dedicated time, effort and money to helping youth struggling with life-threatening disorders and ailments.

In addition to hosting an annual holiday toy drive to benefit the children and families of the nearby Miami Children’s Hospital, IQ Formulations participates in numerous other community and charitable initiatives, including regular donations to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, ASPCA, the American Red Cross, Wounded Warrior Project, local VA hospitals and other Veterans of America organizations.

Last week, IQ Formulations was honored among Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing privately held companies in the country.
