Salt Lake City, Utah (March 22, 2011) On Saturday, 4Life Spain held an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 4Life office for hundreds of distributors. The event represented a unique opportunity for visitors to tour 4Life’s call center for Spain, Portugal, and Germany, see the passcode-protected VIP room for 4Life International Diamonds and above, and mingle with 4Life General Manager of Spain and Portugal Rafael Fernández and his team.

Gold International Diamonds Carlos Rocha and Nidia Pinzón López were onsite. 4Life Vice President of Communications Calvin Jolley was also in attendance.

4Life opened Spain in November 2007. Since then, dedicated 4Life business builders have driven the market to more than double in size. Rafael Fernández: “It’s an honor to host many of the distributors who are making such a positive difference in their lives and the lives of those around them with 4Life’s message of science, success, and service.”

Fernández leveraged the event to raise money for Foundation 4Life^®, which currently has a dollar-for-dollar matching program to raise money for distributors and employees of 4Life Japan. “Following the devastating earthquake and tsunami,” said Jolley, “The first thing we set out to do was account for every one of our distributors in the field. As of the time this piece went to press, nine 4Life distributors in affected areas were still missing.”

4Life’s matching program gives distributors an opportunity to make a difference in rebuilding lives of fellow networkers in Japan. During Spain’s ribbon cutting event, distributors donated more than 1,000 Euro.

On behalf of our 4Life^® Founders David and Bianca Lisonbee, and the entire 4Life family, we express our deepest concern and sympathy for the people of Japan. The effects of the recent 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami have devastated the entire country. An escalating nuclear crisis, rainy weather, losses of power, sanitation, and lack of food are among the many challenges people continue to face. The human and material damage is immense. To date, the tragic loss of life exceeds 6,900 people with at least 10,700 still missing. 

Through communication with the 4Life Japan office, we know that out of 152 distributors who live in the area affected by the quake and tsunami, nine are missing. Phone lines that would help connect us to these missing people are still down, but we are continuing to search. Volunteers are not able to access parts of the devastated areas right now and shipments are limited; but once access is regained, we can move forward with additional support. 

Together, we can make a significant impact that directly helps 4Life family members who are in desperate need. We encourage you to partner with us in reaching out to these 4Life distributors by making a monetary donation. When you make your donation by March 31, 2011, Foundation 4Life will match every dollar that is contributed, automatically doubling your effort.

Salt Lake City, Utah (March 17, 2011) Yesterday, 4Life employees and distributors volunteered at the Feed The Children Americans Feeding Americans Caravan. To date, the event has helped more than 200,000 families across the United States who have been affected by the nation’s economic downturn.

Distributor leaders at the event included International Diamonds Kevin Moore and Carlos Ramírez. Founders David and Bianca Lisonbee and 4Life President Steve Tew were also on-site at the event to support our employee volunteers and join in the service efforts.

Volunteers distributed food and personal care products to residents in need of humanitarian aid; this food will help provide meals to over 800 families. 4Life also added bags of 4Life Fortify® meal packs for each family receiving aid. Volunteer efforts included setting up tents, unloading semi-trailers full of food boxes, carrying boxes to recipients’ cars and homes, and going door-to-door to remind local residents about the drive.

“Being able to support local relief projects is a humbling experience for our employees and distributors. 4Life’s worldwide growth has blessed our lives in so many ways, and it’s great to share our business success with those who have fallen on hard times,” commented Foundation 4Life Director Tracie Kay. “I am grateful for the true desire of our volunteers to lighten the burdens of those in our own neighborhood.”

Director of Human Resources Kelli Vallejos: “I’m very proud to be part of 4Life as they give their employees the opportunity to give back. It is a wonderful reminder of how truly blessed we are.”

Salt Lake City, Utah (March 15, 2011) Over the weekend, 4Life corporate representatives gathered with distributors in Hamburg, Germany, for an event at the Park Hyatt that attracted 130 distributors from throughout Germany and Europe.

Gold International Diamond Carlos Rocha was onsite from Spain, and 4Life International Diamonds in attendance included Àngels Muñoz Estape from Spain and Eve Skelton and Karin Rodeck from Germany.

The afternoon included leadership training by Carlos Rocha and corporate presentations by 4Life International Director, Europe Daniel Taylor and 4Life Vice President of Communications Calvin Jolley. Prior to distributor recognition, the crowd enjoyed a special viewing of Diamond Helge Zumdieck’s song, We Live 4Life. Zumdieck is the Founder and Director of the Hamburg School of Music and created this music video together with his students.

“With so many powerful and creative leaders in the field, it’s no wonder sales in Germany are up 33% from 2010,” said Taylor.

The event also served to launch three new German-label products: 4Life Transfer Factor^® Belle Vie^®, 4Life Transfer Factor^® RioVida Burst™ Tri-Factor^® Formula, and 4Life Transfer Factor^® BCV. 4Life Transfer Factor^® RioVida^®Tri-Factor^® Formula will be available in June.
