Each of the 32 NFL Clubs are partnering with FUTP 60 and local dairy representatives to provide $10,000 grants in communities throughout the country totaling a $320,000 investment in youth health and wellness. “Knowledge is power, and teaching kids how important it is to eat right, exercise and take care of their bodies will help them develop healthy habits that they can carry with them throughout their lives,” said Chargers President-Business Operations A.G. Spanos. “The Los Angeles Chargers are proud to support the Lennox School District and partner with California’s dairy families to stress the importance of getting 60 minutes of physical activity a day and provide kids a roadmap for how to lead a healthy life.” Created in partnership by the NFL and National Dairy Council , in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Fuel Up to Play 60 is the nation’s largest in-school wellness program creating real transformational change in more than 73,000 schools nationwide.
