Fuel Up to Play 60

NFL Play 60 is a national
youth health and fitness
campaign focused on increasing the wellness of young
fans by encouraging them to
be active for 60 minutes per
day. The Jaguars Foundation, THE PLAYERS CENTER
for Child Health at Wolfson
Children’s Hospital and the
American Heart Association partner with local area
non-profit organizations by
providing Play 60 grants. The
Play 60 Challenge engages
more than 3,000 sixth-grade
students annually to be
physically active and make
healthier nutritional choices.

The Jaguars also partner with
the National Dairy Council,
the NFL and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help
encourage today’s youth to
lead healthier lives through
the Fuel Up to Play 60 inschool nutrition and physical
activity program. In Florida,
2.5 million students in 3,100
schools participate in Fuel Up
to Play 60.
