The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), a U.S. non-profit
corporation dedicated to improving children's lives by helping
organizations provide healthy nutrition to vulnerable youth,
announced it raised $1.7 million to support Casa Herbalife programs
around the world. The monies raised were donated by employees and
independent distributors attending an annual fundraising event held
during their annual meeting, this year in Charlotte, North
Carolina.
“I am always touched and amazed by the financial and
volunteering generosity demonstrated by our employees and our
independent distributors,” said Jenny Perez, director of the
Herbalife Family Foundation. “The money raised tonight and
throughout the year by the Herbalife Family Foundation supports
organizations around the world that are dedicated to improving
children’s lives.”
The Casa Herbalife Program, established in 2005, helps bring
good nutrition to children living in orphanages, using after school
centers, and other non-profit facilities around the world tasked
with helping underserved young people. In addition to the annual
financial grants made by the Herbalife Family Foundation, the
organizations receive local financial and volunteer support from
independent Herbalife Nutrition distributors, as well as Herbalife
Nutrition employees. In 2016, the program provided more than $2.7
million in funding and volunteer assistance to more than 130
programs in more than 50 countries. These funds bring nutrition to
more than 100,000 children in 50 countries on a daily basis.
In 2016, Herbalife Nutrition employees volunteered more than
2,670 hours in their local communities.
