A dedication to good health and good nutrition is the cornerstone of ViSalus, but good works are at the heart of everything we do.
From the beginning, ViSalus has been committed to making a difference, championing important causes that people care deeply about. Vi-Cares translates our desire to give into a way to give, creating a broad philanthropic platform that brings ViSalus Promoters, Customers and employees together to support a range of programs, partners and causes that make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of others. Reaching out wherever we can, Vi-Cares allows us to share our success with those less fortunate through charitable giving, community service and grassroots initiatives that fulfill our vision for a healthier world and our commitment to fighting obesity.
Vi-Cares is more than about helping people; it’s about helping people help others, creating and nurturing a consumer movement that builds a healthier future, one person at a time. ViSalus addresses a spectrum of diet-related social concerns under the Vi-Cares umbrella, sponsoring programs that empower adults to impact the future by changing the health—and the life—of a child. The good works of the Vi-Community bring good nutrition full circle, passing the gift of good health to the next generation, who will not only shape our future, but inherit our world.

After studying millions of transformations, we believe that the secret to your Challenge success lies... in the first 10 lbs. To help people reach this important milestone, we launched PROJECT 10—where every week, we award a total of $10,000 to 10 people who lose 10 lbs. or add 10 lbs. of lean muscle. Plus, anyone who submits their PROJECT 10 results gets an “i LOST it.” t-shirt.
PROJECT 10 Kids gives the Vi-Community an opportunity to share the benefits of achieving a healthier weight with the next generation. It takes our mission even further by helping overweight and obese kids make better nutritional and lifestyle choices for a healthier, longer life.
When you submit your PROJECT 10 results (either lose 10 lbs. or add 10 lbs. of lean muscle), ViSalus will donate 30 Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake meals to a child in need, through PROJECT 10 Kids. That’s a whole month of nutritious breakfast, lunch or snack options that will put an at-risk, overweight or obese child on the path to a healthier life. When you lose, they win—now through Vitality 2013!
HOW IT WORKS
Lose 10 lbs. -- or add 10 lbs. of lean muscle -- through PROJECT 10, then submit your results at enter.vi.com.
ViSalus donates 30 Vi-Shape Shake meals to an at-risk, overweight or obese child in the United States or Canada. Plus, we’ll keep donating every time you lose another 10 lbs. (or add 10 lbs. of lean muscle) and submit a new “i LOST it.” or “i BUILT it.” video!
You receive an “i LOST it.” or “i BUILT it” t-shirt with “And a Child Wins” on the back.
ALREADY LOST 10 LBS?
We’ll donate for you, too! ViSalus will give 30 shake meals for every person who has already submitted successful PROJECT 10 results. That’s a whole month’s worth of meals for a child in need thanks to you and PROJECT 10 Kids.
TWO WAYS TO HELP
At least half the children in America are overweight, obese, malnourished, or victims of nutritional deficiencies that put their lives at risk. Limited options and bad choices are threatening the health of our children and the future of our world. The need for good nutrition has never been greater. And giving it has never been easier.
ViSalus offers two ways to give the gift of good nutrition to a nutritionally-deficient child in your community.
LOSE 10 lbs.—or add 10 lbs. of lean muscle—through PROJECT 10, and ViSalus will donate 30 shake meals on your behalf to an obesity clinic or food and meal program that helps at-risk children. (If you submit your PROJECT 10 results after May 24, 2013, you can choose your own charity from more than 200 ViSalus Charity Partners, using the Vi-Net® drop-down Charity Choice menu.)
DONATE 30 kid-sized shakes through the Vi-Community Challenge, and ViSalus will match you shake for shake, doubling your gift to 60 kid-sized shake meals for an at-risk child. Or donate Nutra-Cookies™, and we’ll match you cookie for cookie.
TAKE ME TO THE COMMUNITY CHALLENGE SHOP CART
Vi-Cares' signature giving program is the Vi-Community Challenge, a community outreach program that connects those who want to help with those who need it most. By donating nutritious ViSalus Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake Mix meals and Chocolate Chip Nutra-Cookies™ to children’s charities across North America, ViSalus Promoters, Customers and employees can give back to their local communities by helping hungry, overweight or obese children receive the nutrition they need to lead longer, healthier lives.
Through our Matched Giving Program, ViSalus matches donations shake for shake or cookie for cookie, doubling the impact of every gift. Working with more than 190 nonprofits, the Vi-Community has donated over three million shake meals and cookies through food banks, youth organizations, churches, obesity and weight-management programs, and disaster relief efforts throughout the United States and Canada. Every donation makes a difference, giving an at-risk child the essential nutrition to grow up healthy and strong.
THE GREAT COOKIE GIVEAWAY
Our first Vi-Cares initiative honored National Hunger Awareness Month by donating a total of 510,880 Nutra-Cookies™ to West Virginia’s Huntington Area Food Bank.
Members of the Vi-Community were on-site when 420,000 Nutra-Cookies were donated on a single day, ultimately awarding ViSalus with the world record by Guinness World Records™. More importantly, the mountain of ViSalus Nutra-Cookies gave healthy “mini meals” to more than 97,000 nutritionally deprived individuals in 17 high-need counties.
A MILLION MOMENTS OF GIVING
Vi-Cares declared December 15, 2012 The World’s Largest Giving Day.
The spirit of giving turned into acts of giving as ViSalus challenged people everywhere to give back in any way they could to anyone who needed it. Countless lives were touched as thousands inspired thousands more to create a million moments of giving and caring.
