9.8.14 | Fort Worth, TX | It was a day of design, networking and education at Clarus Glassboards, but most importantly an opportunity to put a smile on the faces of sick children in Fort Worth and brighten their day. Clarus Glassboards and top interior designers from around the country came together for a product training session with a twist.

A group of over 20 designers were invited to come to Fort Worth and learn about Clarus Glassboards, see new products and tour the largest Glassboard fabrication facility in the United States. But that was not all. At Clarus, a strong community service and peoplecentered culture exists, so President Andrew Philipp wanted to engage with the designer group in a more meaningful way.

“The idea of creating go! Mobile boards to donate to a children’s hospital came up and I loved the idea,” said Philipp. “We had to do it.”

Armed with the idea of blending product training and community service, Clarus approached Healthboard client Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth and the concept quickly came together and was greenlighted.

Onsite at Clarus, designers received a brief overview of the go! Mobile product and Cook Children’s Medical Center, and then broken into small groups for a fast-paced design session. After the designs were complete, the groups were able to watch their creations come to life immediately on the factory floor. Then the group loaded up four Mobiles and set off for Cook Children’s to surprise local kids.

“This was totally awesome! Unlike any other product training I’ve ever attended,” said one designer when the Mobiles were presented at the hospital.

Best of all, thanks to the generosity of Clarus, many designers and Cook Children’s, these Mobiles will continue to provide engaging and fun activities for sick children for many years to come.
