IQ Formulations Supports Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research During Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) April 28, 2015

IQ Formulations today announced its generous donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to help fund research to find a cure, while also raising awareness, during Parkinson’s Awareness Month this April.

For IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen, supporting the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is a deeply personal cause. “My grandfather, who was as strong as an Oak tree, was stricken down by this debilitating disease,” stated Cohen. “Supporting the Michael J. Fox Foundation helps me honor my grandfather’s memory by helping others who currently face the challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease.”

Since April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, Jay Cohen felt it was an opportune time to encourage and inspire others in the community to support this vital organization’s commitment to finding a cure for Parkinson’s through aggressively funded research and development of improved therapies for people diagnosed with the disease. Since 2000, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has funded more than $450 million toward finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease, and IQ Formulations is proud to be a philanthropic contributor to this critical initiative.

IQ Formulations is renowned for its ongoing charitable support of multiple other respected non-profit organizations including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Wounded Warriors, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Humane Association. These charities, among many others, are profoundly important to CEO Jay Cohen, his employees, and the overall core values of IQ Formulations.

The company prides itself on leading the nutritional supplement industry by example, not only in its charitable endeavors, but also with its top-quality products, outstanding facilities, unparalleled customer service and commitment to exceeding standards.
