$15,000 Donation to Help Support Downtown L.A.
YMCA Efforts to Strengthen Communities
Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) has announced a
$15,000 donation as part of its ongoing commitment as Official
Nutrition Sponsor of the 2015 YMCA Stair Climb for Los Angeles.
This is the third straight year Herbalife will serve as the
Official Nutrition Sponsor of the YMCA Stair Climb. The $15,000
donation will help support the downtown YMCA’s programs that
promote youth development, healthy living and social
responsibility.
The YMCA stair climb—taking place on Friday, September 25—will
showcase a range of Herbalife sports nutrition products throughout
the event, including Herbalife’s popular H30 hydration product and
its effervescent Liftoff® energy product, all designed to keep
athletes of all levels fueled during competition. Herbalife
products will be placed into 4,000 gift bags prepared by the YMCA
for stair climb participants.
“Herbalife is committed to promoting a healthy, active lifestyle
among people of all fitness levels, regardless of where they are on
their nutrition and wellness journey,” said Amy Greene, senior vice
president, global engagement, Herbalife. “We are honored to partner
with the YMCA of Downtown Los Angeles and to be the official
nutrition sponsor of this year’s YMCA Stair Climb.”
97 Herbalife employees are expected to climb the 1,664 stairs it
takes to reach the pinnacle of the US Bank tower in Downtown Los
Angeles—the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Several
independent Herbalife members were also on hand at the Herbalife
booth.
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.
The agreement with the YMCA is part of Herbalife's broader
community engagement program aimed at promoting good nutrition as
part of a healthy, active lifestyle. For example, during September
alone, Herbalife has supported the Los Angeles triathlon, the
Nautica Malibu Triathlon, the DC Nation’s Triathlon in Washington
D.C., and the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final and World
Championships in Chicago, with many Herbalife employees and members
also participating in the events.
Herbalife also works with the Red Cross Los Angeles to provide
disaster relief and protein recovery snacks to blood donors.
Herbalife also 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.
