California-based Lief Labs, a formulation and product development innovator and manufacturer of dietary supplements, announced that it continues the company’s commitment to improving the health of millions of women and children worldwide as an official partner of Vitamin Angels (California). Lief was a Humanitarian Sponsor of the Vitamin Angels 25th Anniversary Celebration event on March 6 at the Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, CA, which was held as an opening reception of the Natural Products Expo West industry conference.
Vitamin Angels is a global aid organization that protects millions of women and young children from malnutrition. Lief’s founder and CEO, Adel Villalobos, and other members of Lief’s leadership team were among the about 350 guests at the Vitamin Angels celebration, which raised nearly $300,000 for the cause.
In commenting on Lief’s partnership with Vitamin Angels and the event, Villalobos said: “It’s a great pleasure to continue our sponsorship to help support the organization’s valuable work helping to improve the health of mothers and children worldwide. We were happy to be able to join in the 25th Anniversary celebration and wish Vitamin Angels continued success for many more years to come.”
Howard Schiffer, Vitamin Angels’ founder & president/CEO, said during the Celebration: “[We all] share one world, one human experience. Under that sky we share cities and villages, and under that same sky these moms and dads share one dream — that their children will be healthy and safe and be able to receive an education.”
In thanking Vitamin Angels’ supporters and sponsors, Schiffer also added: “We’ve grown from reaching thousands of children, to last year reaching over 70 million children and mothers. With your continued support, we can make the dream I had twenty-five years ago to end malnutrition, a reality.”
