“Our California dairy farm families are pleased to ensure LA’s BEST students have access to healthy eating programs and options for physical activity both during and after-school,” said Jennifer Giambroni, Director of Communications for the California Milk Advisory Board/Real California Milk. “Partnering with the Los Angeles Rams to celebrate the awarding of resources, which will be shared across 750 square miles, is a remarkable accomplishment and a reason we activate FUTP 60 throughout the state.” Developed by FUTP 60 and the National Football League (NFL), the ‘Hometown Grant’ program provides teams and farmer funded dairy organizations like Real California Milk with the opportunity to identify deserving schools and school districts and provide them with funding to help meet their health and wellness goals. 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. For the 2016 season, the National Foundation on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition is matching the NFL’s donation with $10,000 in resources to celebrate the 60 th anniversary of the President’s Council of Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, which is the nation’s youth fitness education and assessment program. “As the Rams return home to Los Angeles, we are passionate about establishing meaningful school partnerships throughout the region,” said Molly Higgins, Vice President/Community Affairs and Engagement for the Los Angeles Rams. “In our first year back, we are proud to award LA’s BEST with this financial support through the FUTP 60 program and our partnership with the California dairy farm families. We look forward to expanding our partnership and geographic reach in subsequent seasons.” 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. The national in- school nutrition and physical-activity program is activated in California by the state’s more than 1,300 dairy farm families.
