SALT LAKE CITY, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- USANA is proud to
announce that its charitable organization — the USANA True Health
Foundation (THF) — was presented the Vision for Tomorrow award in
the philanthropy category at the 2016 Direct Selling Association
(DSA) annual meeting. The global nutritional company was also named
to the Top 20 list of direct selling companies by the DSA — which
is based on its 2015 U.S. net sales and is open exclusively to DSA
members. USANA was also named to the Top 20 list in 2013 and
2014.
"The USANA True Health Foundation is thrilled to receive the
Vision of Tomorrow award as it inspires our organization to
continue the work it's doing to relieve suffering and hunger around
the world," said Deb Jordan,
president of the USANA True Health Foundation. "Through donations,
our worldwide programs are aimed at providing critical necessities
— nutrition, clothing, shelter, medical assistance and health
education."
In March 2012, USANA launched the
THF, a nonprofit organization that provides help to those in need
all over the world. This past year, USANA's True Health Foundation
accomplished the following:
- Provided $600,000 in meals across Eastern
Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin
America, Haiti, Nepal and the United States.
- Supplied $225,000 in disaster aid, vaccines and water
purification tablets to Malaysia, the
Philippines and victims of the earthquakes
in Nepal.
- Distributed $87,192 in materials to help rebuild
fishing boats to those affected by Typhoon Yolanda.
"USANA creates economic opportunities for thousands of
Americans," said Joseph N. Mariano,
DSA's president. "I want to congratulate their team for their
devotion to customers and salespeople, as well as for the work they
do with the DSA in support of an ethical marketplace. Sales
don't just happen; they are earned by companies like USANA that
build the trust and inspire the confidence of consumers."
Over the last few years, USANA has seen incredible global
financial growth, with the company recently reporting its 13th
consecutive year of record sales and earnings. Net sales for 2015
increased by an unbelievable 16.2 percent to a record $918.5 million. USANA looks to continue the
outstanding financial growth in the future and to become a mainstay
on the DSA Top 20 list.
