Nautica Malibu Triathlon
Team Herbalife was awarded the Corporate Spirit Award at the 19th annual Nautica Malibu Triathlon,
given to the company that raises the most money for pediatric AIDS research.
The team raised $160,000, the largest among corporate teams, to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF).
The company also retains the Corporate Challenge Cup for the fastest men’s and women’s times among competing companies.
Marco Antonio Gonzales told us:
"Prior to joining the Herbalife family, I would have never fathomed participating in a triathlon.
Being part of Team Herbalife was an unforgettable and unique experience in my life.
I kept on thinking about how proud I was to be wearing the Herbalife uniform and logo,
and how good it felt to be associated with a company that genuinely cares about people.
It was this thought that became my driving force and my motivation to go on.
I knew at that moment, in the middle of the ocean, that the spirit of commitment and empowerment of the company was now a part of my life."
