Fort Lauderdale (November 6, 2017) - Marketing group Optime Consulting pays it forward by developing and funding the children and adults Innovation classroom for United Community Options, formerly known as United Cerebral Palsy.
Weston-based Optime Consulting, allocated contributions raised from their annual social responsibility event from 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Optime 5K Run, to re-design and re-build two classrooms at United Community Options of Broward and transform it into a state of the art space for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
The ultimate goal is to provide a nurturing environment where those served can learn, share and grow.
The Children Innovation Classroom was born, designed and aligned with Optime’s expertise in marketing and human centric strategies, enabling educators, parents and children to define behavioral goals that show progress, recognition, and ultimately a sense of pride that becomes contagious.
