ANGELES, April 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) celebrated 30 years of improving
the lives of children and communities around the world, raising
more than $1.4 million at its
annual gala fundraiser held this year in Lisbon, Portugal. The funds raised through the
generous donations of Herbalife's independent distributors and its
employees, will primarily benefit the Foundation's Casa Herbalife

and anti-hunger organizations, in over 61 countries.
