TOKYO, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), in partnership with LA Galaxy, hosted an outreach event at the Kobe Jitsugyo Gakuin (KJG) children's shelter. KJG is one of the nonprofit organizations participating in the Casa Herbalife Program, a global HFF initiative that provides children with access to nutritious meals, educational resources, and safe, nurturing environments.
The event saw four LA Galaxy players including defenders Miki Yamane and Harbor Miller, and midfielders Tucker Lepley and Elijah Wynder who've dedicated time in their offseason to this youth engagement event. The team led a fun, skills-based soccer clinic that encouraged the children's dexterity and coordination. Throughout the energetic afternoon, the players reinforced the power of positive nutrition and aimed to inspire the children to live healthier lives. "It was an incredible experience to share the joy of soccer with these amazing kids," said LA Galaxy Defender Miki Yamane. "We hope the activities inspired them to stay active, believe in themselves, and dream big." At the end of the game, the players gave away autographed balls, ball caps and sports wristbands to the children. The team also prepared special gifts for a festive exchange, adding warmth to the season of giving. "At Herbalife Japan, we believe in creating opportunities that inspire and empower children," said Eri Takemoto, General Manager of Herbalife Japan. "This initiative is more than just a visit— it is about fostering positive role models, encouraging physical activity, and reinforcing our commitment to social responsibility. We hope to instill in the children a stronger sense of self-confidence and belief in their own future," she added. Over the past two decades, KJG has helped more than 800 children with HFF grants used for renovations, new equipment, and support for the children's well-being and development. In 2025, HFF awarded US$5 million in grants to 165 nonprofit organizations, supporting 200,000 children across 60 countries and territories.
