FUEL UP to PLAY 60 is a fun, school-based program that empowers youth to make healthy choices and create a healthy school environment filled with nutrient-rich foods and at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity. The program was founded by the National Dairy Council© (NDC) and the National Football League (NFL) and is based on a mutual commitment to the health of the next generation. This program is unique in that it is completely customizable to each school and can work in conjunction with existing school-based programs to help schools achieve state & national standards.
