NBTY event raises over $590K for community wellness

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. — The NBTY Foundation raised over $590,000 through its 10th Annual Golf Outing this month.

More than 300 attendees came out for a sun-filled day of golf in Long Island to contribute to NBTY’s efforts to bring wellness to communities. 

“We are once again inspired by the generosity of our vendors, suppliers, customers, consumers, and Associates” said Sonya Soutus, senior vice president, chief public affairs and communications officer at NBTY. “Their support created our most successful Golf Outing yet and will have a significant and lasting impact on the community. From the products we sell to our passion for assisting those in need, NBTY’s commitment to wellness extends far and wide.”

NBTY says the funds raised will support charitable efforts across local communities and further NBTY’s commitment to wellness.

“NBTY’s ongoing commitment to helping us end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island is having a positive effect on the lives of food-insecure Long Island families,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “Island Harvest Food Bank has been a recipient of funds from The NBTY Foundation through previous Golf Outings, and we sincerely appreciate the partnership with NBTY for all they do in support of our mission.”

The NBTY Foundation is the charitable arm of NBTY, which owns an extensive portfolio of well-known brands, including Nature’s Bounty, Sundown Naturals, Osteo Bi-Flex, Solgar, Balance Bar, MET-Rx, Pure Protein, Body Fortress, Puritan’s Pride, Holland & Barrett, De Tuinen, and others.
