Herbalife, a leading health and wellness company, proudly served as the Official Nutrition Partner for the 31st Annual Ketchum-Downtown YMCA Stair Climb and Urban Hike. The event drew over 3,000 participants, including Herbalife team members, who completed the 75-flight climb up the U.S. Bank Tower and trekked through some of Los Angeles’ most iconic landmarks. Herbalife provided post-event nourishment with its scientifically-backed products, including the H3O Fitness Drink, Protein Bar Deluxe, and the ACHIEVE Protein Bar from the Herbalife24® line, certified by NSF for sport.
This marks Herbalife’s 11th consecutive year participating in the event, which is one of Downtown Los Angeles’ largest fundraisers, with all proceeds supporting community programs that promote education and healthy lifestyle habits for youth and teens in the area.
“The Ketchum-Downtown YMCA Stair Climb and Urban Hike has become a tradition for us at Herbalife. Supporting this event and the Ketchum YMCA each year unites our employees and local community, aligning perfectly with our mission to promote health and well-being,” said Frank Lamberti, Chief Commercial Officer at Herbalife. “Seeing our team members tackle the climb and hike through iconic landmarks is truly inspiring. We remain dedicated to supporting events like these, both locally and globally, that empower communities.”
