Herbalife supporters gather in Grand Park
LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
More than 4,000 Southern California residents—Herbalife members and
other supporters—are gathering at Grand Park today in front of Los
Angeles City Hall to tell local legislators about their experiences with
Los Angeles-based Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), and show their support for the
global nutrition company.
The rally comes as Herbalife members from across Southern
California—from San Diego to San Bernardino—visit Los Angeles City Hall
to meet with key Los Angeles City Hall leaders and share how Herbalife
is helping them lead healthier, more active lives, and offering those
who are interested an opportunity to earn full-time or supplemental
income selling the company’s nutrition products.
“Herbalife has provided me the opportunity to achieve the healthy,
active lifestyle I’ve always dreamed of,” said Aubrey Clarke, a Los
Angeles-based member. “I am excited about the opportunity to go to my
home town City Hall to tell my legislators just how important Herbalife
has been to helping me achieve my personal fitness and financial goals.”
Several civic leaders familiar with the company spoke with the group in
Grand Park. Carol Schatz, president and CEO of the Central City
Association, said, “Herbalife has played an important role in the
economic vitality of Los Angeles. They participate as an excellent
corporate citizen, helping to make Los Angeles a great place to live and
work.”
Executive Director of A Place Called Home Jonathan Zeichner said, “The
Herbalife Family Foundation has been a major supporter of A Place Called
Home since 2005 and has helped us respond to food insecurity in South
Central Los Angeles by providing daily healthy meals and ongoing
nutrition education for young people and families.“ He added, “We value
our long-term relationship with HFF, and appreciate the resources and
the tremendous volunteer support we receive from Herbalife members and
employees.”

contribution in California. It currently has six manufacturing and
distribution facilities, and there are 1,500 employees and more than
