THANKS to your generosity, thoughtfulness and kindness, we raised close to $25,000 in one week together for our TGBash Bags campaign!

We made a difference for 120 homeless children and families in the Dallas area though the organization Vogal Alcove – a non-profit that serves the homeless.

Our Optomi Atlanta team spent the day volunteering with Inspiredu… contributing to underserved schools in the community.

In the spirit of making an impact one life at a time, we founded The TGB Foundation (which stands for Todd’s initials and also for Together Giving Back).  Our goal is to impact the lives of kids going through difficult times… PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES.

Imagine having to walk 6 miles to the grocery store in 90° Texas heat (often over 100° with the heat index. Or walk 8 miles to-and-from work every day. Compound that with the strain of having a three-year-old to carry in one arm while schlepping milk and other necessities in the other and caring for a 5-month old baby amidst it all.

In the spirit of giving back, our Atlanta team devoted their Q2 Opt2Give Day volunteering at the North Fulton Community Charities. We spent the day volunteering in their Thrift Store and Food Pantry sorting and organizing donations to support our local community.

We’re passionate about giving back to our communities! We had the great pleasure of working with Cal’s Angels, a Pediatric Cancer Foundation that grants wishes to children fighting cancer, provides financial assets to their families, and raises awareness and funding for Pediatric Cancer research.

We were founded with a passion for positively impacting our communities, which led us to spend our Q2 Opt2give day with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina! The team helped inspect and sort food products hat will be distributed to those in need.

It’s fitting that today, on the birthday of Todd G. Black, we launch The TGB Foundation in his honor.  Through this foundation, we intend to memorialize his generous and gracious spirit by caring for children who are in need. This foundation will be centered around making the lives of children the best they can possibly be… in health, during hardship and through education.
