Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational and development opportunities for children and youth to thrive academically, personally, and professionally, has received a $60,000 grant from the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) (HFF). The organization is one of 28 U.S.-based nonprofits participating in the Casa Herbalife Program, a global initiative by HFF that partners with community organizations to offer nutritious meals, educational resources, and safe environments for children and underserved communities. Through its Casa Herbalife Program, HFF distributed $5 million this year to 164 nonprofit organizations across 59 countries and territories, furthering its mission of empowering communities worldwide.
The Casa Herbalife Program is made possible by the generosity and commitment of Herbalife’s independent distributors and employees. Their dedication has fueled HFF’s impactful work, directly supporting communities and transforming lives. This year’s funding is projected to benefit approximately 200,000 children globally, delivering essential support where it is needed most.
“We are immensely grateful to the Herbalife Family Foundation for their generous support of the development and well-being of our children and youth,” said Alma Frontera, president of BGCPR. “This grant will allow us to expand our programs and reach more children and families in need. Together, we are building a healthier community with greater hope for a bright future.”
“These grants go beyond financial aid—it represents a commitment to empowering communities, providing children and underserved groups with the tools they need to create a brighter, healthier future,” said Rob Levy, Herbalife Family Foundation board member and International Managing Director at Herbalife. “We deeply appreciate the dedication of Herbalife’s independent distributors and employees, whose passion and hard work spark real, lasting change in the communities where we live and serve.”
To further increase the joy of the children and youth who witnessed the grant presentation, HLF surprised them with gifts in celebration of the holiday season.
