Fundraising Goal of $1 Million The company will champion donations from employees and Distributors by giving ten cents to every dollar donated to Herbalife Family Foundation earmarked for the "Tsunami Relief" fund -- until the goal is reached. Save the Children has met the emergency and long-term needs of some of the region's poorest children and families for over 30 years. They have teams on-the-ground in many of the hardest hit areas, including Aceh Province in Indonesia delivering fuel, supplies, temporary shelter materials and food, especially for children under five. Herbalife's partnership with Save the Children dates back to the first HFF donation to help in Kosovo in 1999. SOS Children's Villages has been the HFF focus in India for six years. SOS staff are already in Nagapattinam, India, which was heavily affected, working in tents providing first aid and moving in additional resources to help the children, many of whom lost their parents in the tsunamis. Online donations may be made at the Herbalife Family Foundation secure Web site at www.herbalifefamily.org The Herbalife Family Foundation was established to provide a brighter future for "at-risk" children in need.
