Herbalife, through its philanthropic entity the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), and in partnership with LA Galaxy, led a fun, skills-based soccer clinic at the Kobe Jitsugyo Gakuin (KJG) children’s shelter in Japan. This shelter is a participating nonprofit partner of the Casa Herbalife Program, an HFF initiative that provides at-risk children with access to nutritious meals, educational resources and safe, nurturing environments.
LA Galaxy players including defenders Miki Yamane and Harbor Miller, and midfielders Tucker Lepley and Elijah Wynder led the clinic that encouraged the children through play and inspired them to live healthier lives. The LA Galaxy players also gave away autographed balls, ball caps and sports wristbands to the children at the close of the clinic.
“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.”
The KJG children’s shelter has helped more than 800 children over the past two decades with HFF grants that have provided access to renovations, new equipment and support for childhood wellbeing and development.
“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.”
