Herbalife Fuels the 32nd Annual Ketchum Downtown YMCA Stair Climb and Urban Hike

Thousands unite to raise funds supporting youth and family programs in Los Angeles

Herbalife, a premier health and wellness company, community and platform, served as the Official Nutrition Sponsor of the 32nd Annual Ketchum-Downtown YMCA Stair Climb and Urban Hike in downtown Los Angeles. The event brought together thousands of Angelenos, including Herbalife employees, to raise funds for YMCA programs supporting youth development and family services across the city. This year marked Herbalife’s 12th consecutive year supporting the event, reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to empowering communities.

 

“We sponsor the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA Stair Climb and Urban Hike year after year because we are inspired by what it represents – Angelenos coming together to give back to community members in need,” said Ibi Montesino, Managing Director for North America at Herbalife. “As a global company headquartered in Los Angeles, we are especially proud to support initiatives that bring people together in our own backyard to make a lasting difference.”

 

To support participants throughout the event, Herbalife provided Herbalife24 ACHIEVE Protein Bars, Protein Bars Deluxe, and its H³O® Fitness Drink to help with preparation and recovery. The company also hosted a booth at the post-event block party in Maguire Gardens, where attendees enjoyed music, food, and wellness activities.

 

In addition to the YMCA Stair Climb, Herbalife supports a wide range of community initiatives across Los Angeles. The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), the company’s philanthropic arm powered by its Independent Distributors, provides ongoing support to local nonprofits focused on serving underserved youth and families. Through its Casa Herbalife program, HFF partners with three local organizations: A Place Called Home, Children’s Institute Inc., and Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) to help provide nutritious meals, educational resources, and safe spaces for children and families.

 

Herbalife’s dedication to the community also extends through its sponsorship of the LA Galaxy. Together, they support the LA Galaxy Special Olympics Unified Team, along with other local community programs. These efforts are made possible through a joint community partnership fund with the team, which helps expand access to sports, wellness, and youth development opportunities across the city.
