Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a leading global nutrition company, has
announced that it will once again be the Official Nutrition Sponsor
of the 2014 YMCA Stair Climb for Los Angeles. This is the 21st year
of the event, which will see thousands of people climb the 1,664
stairs to the top of the US Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles —
the tallest building west of the Mississippi — to raise vital funds
in support of critical programs for children and families in the
community.
As Official Nutrition Sponsor, Herbalife will enter a number of
teams of employees and have a range of nutrition products available
for sampling during the block party that takes place throughout the
day of the event.
“It is an honor to once again be the official nutrition sponsor
of this year’s YMCA Stair Climb,” said Frank Lamberti, senior vice
president of worldwide finance and strategy, Herbalife, and Stuart
M. Ketchum Downtown YMCA board member. “We often seek to align our
activities with organizations that share our values, and the LA
YMCA is a natural fit. Sponsoring this year’s stair climb supports
our vision to change people’s lives through living a healthy,
active lifestyle.”
The event takes place on Friday, September 19, 2014. For more

This agreement is part of Herbalife's broader sponsorship
program aimed at promoting good nutrition as part of a healthy,
active lifestyle. The sponsorship further highlights Herbalife's
commitment to playing an active role in the Los Angeles
community—an area known for its large Latino community and served
by the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles. Herbalife is currently the
main shirt sponsor of LA's MLS Cup champions, LA Galaxy and the
presenting sponsor of the Herbalife Triathlon Los Angeles.
Herbalife also works with the Red Cross Los Angeles to provide
disaster relief, and supports a number of local charities and
organizations, such as ‘A Place Called Home', the Children's
Institute Inc., and the Union Rescue Mission to help provide
nutrition support to vulnerable children and families in the L.A.
area.
