In addition to the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) underwriting this match so that all ticket sales can go directly to wildfire relief, proceeds from HFF's own fundraising efforts will be combined with this effort.
The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization created in 1994 by Herbalife founder Mark Hughes, dedicated to enhancing the quality of children's lives by creating programs and supporting nonprofit organizations in the community that feed at-risk children. HFF currently supports 29 Casa Herbalife programs on five continents. Additionally, HFF often responds to natural disasters by establishing special funds, as it did for victims of the tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires. HFF is funded through the generosity of Herbalife Independent Distributors, Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) and its employees, friends and families.
Both the Red Cross and The Salvation Army will have collection booths set up on the stadium's main concourse and volunteers stationed at each of The Home Depot Center entrances collecting additional contributions. Additionally, fans who cannot attend the match can find more information on how to contribute to the relief effort online by visiting www.lagalaxy.com.
The Los Angeles Galaxy Foundation will also raise funds through a silent auction at the stadium, featuring autographed Galaxy and other sports memorabilia as well as items contributed by Hollywood United. These items include a signed guitar from Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard, a "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" script signed by Michael Douglas, a "Without a Trace" script signed by star Anthony LaPaglia.
