Last night, Herbalife was a key sponsor of the 2013 Hispanic Heritage
Awards. The prestigious Awards, which celebrate Hispanic cultural pride,
contributions, and accomplishments, took place on Thursday, Sept. 5, at
the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
and will be broadcasted on MundoFox on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 7:00 p.m.
“We are proud to partner with Herbalife in carrying on the rich
tradition of the Hispanic Heritage Awards,” commented Antonio Tijerino,
President and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. “Herbalife is an
exceptional match with the mission of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation
as we celebrate the significant contributions made by Hispanic leaders
throughout the country. We are especially thrilled to have Herbalife
host the Inspira Award, which recognizes the entrepreneurial
spirit and vision of Hispanic leaders that have impacted history in
America and the world. Not only does Herbalife support the Hispanic
community, Herbalife also inspires the entrepreneurial spirit of
thousands of individual members of the Hispanic population across
America.”
Herbalife was the presenting sponsor of the Inspira Award, which
this year went to Diego Luna. Luna, an accomplished actor, director and
producer, is a role model that seeks to inspire the Latino community to
recognize their shared history and strive to improve their lives and
those around them.
“Herbalife is proud to be the sponsor of the Inspira Award at the
26th Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards, and honored to be a part of this
celebration of Latino leaders who have made positive impacts in various
fields,” said Ibi Fleming, senior vice president and managing director,

nutritional products and strong community-based networks that support
healthy lifestyles, Herbalife is proud of its commitment to the Latino
