On Friday, November 5th, Optomi celebrated its 9th annual Op2tgive Day, the Founder’s Day of Optomi. A day dedicated to impacting local communities. The D.C. team assembled 100 entertainment bags for hospitalized kids at Children’s National Hospital in D.C.. These bags were funded by The TGB Foundation through our fundraising effort in September and are filled with coloring books, fidget spinners, stress balls, conversation cards, joke cards, slime and more! 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.
