Vitaflo USA's "Formula for Fun Program" Celebrates the Beginning of Its Fifth Year!!
Formula for Fun was created in 2006 with the goal of bringing metabolic families, support groups and clinics together to have fun. Families, support groups and genetic clinics had been working hard to come up with events that their families would enjoy. The time, effort, money and dedication amazed the Vitaflo USA team. These same energetic leaders were also busy with work and responsibilities at home. Vitaflo USA designed the Formula for Fun Program to assist the metabolic community with planning, designing flyers, paying fees and organizing the details to create truly special experiences for local metabolic groups. We invite you to let us lend a hand and sponsor an event that fits your local group's schedule and desires. What makes this program so special? Find out here. |
