Optomi Charlotte Gives Back to Beds for Kids on the 9th Annual Opt2give Day
On Friday, November 5th, Optomi celebrated its 9th annual Op2tgive Day, the Founder’s Day of Optomi. A day dedicated to impacting local communities. After packing 300 entertainment bags for hospitalized children at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, the team headed over to Beds for Kids, an organization striving to provide thousands of children and their families with furniture each year. The Charlotte team has volunteered with Beds for Kids before, making their partnership with the TGB Foundation even more special as they are providing opportunity for kids to live their best lives. This entire day was devoted to giving back, an ideal our late founder, Todd Black, instilled in the culture of Optomi. He is the inspiration behind the TGB Foundation, an impact-driven nonprofit providing opportunity for kids to live their best lives. Todd always preached that small things make the biggest impact, and there’s no doubt our Opt2give day efforts have made a difference in the lives of many.
