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.

IQ Formulations Begins Headquarters Expansion After Working with South Florida’s Stonegate Bank and Total Real Estate Consultants, Inc.

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) September 03, 2014

Sunrise-based health supplement manufacturer IQ Formulations today announced that it has begun the process of relocating and expanding its operations after working with Total Real Estate Consultants, Inc. and securing a loan from South Florida’s Stonegate Bank. IQ Formulations was named last week to Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing companies in the nation after posting an astonishing 5,486 percent growth rate since 2010. The company will soon move its operations to Tamarac, where it is beginning the process of building out a state-of-the-art manufacturing and processing facility that can accommodate a surge in production and a growing workforce.

“As a born and raised Floridian, it was very important to me to partner with a bank and realtor right here in our own community,” said IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen. “Stonegate Bank’s Eric Servaites and Total Real Estate Consultants’ Joe Pelayo did a great job making the process easy. 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. CEO Jay Cohen looks forward to forming additional local partnerships as IQ Formulations continues on an incredible growth trajectory from its home in South Florida.

In addition to its economic commitment to area, IQ Formulations is also deeply involved in various community and charitable initiatives. IQ Formulations sponsors an annual toy drive benefiting the families at nearby Miami Children’s Hospital, and also gives to a variety of fundraisers and advocacy organizations.
