Donation to Healy-Murphy Center Will Help Address Problems with Obesity in At-Risk Teens and Children in San Antonio

The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to improving children’s lives by helping organizations provide healthy nutrition to vulnerable youth, today announced a $10,000 donation to the Healy-Murphy Center, a non-profit organization committed to helping youth-in-crisis in San Antonio, Texas. The donation will create the first Casa Herbalife program in San Antonio and contribute to the city’s efforts to reduce obesity in the area. In San Antonio, the obesity rate is at 31 percent, which is higher than the national average of 27 percent, and the second-highest obesity rate among major U.S. cities.

“Obesity in San Antonio continues to be a significant health issue, and addressing this threat to public health starts with education at a young age,” Councilman Cris Medina said.
