NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL's charitable foundation is awarding a
grant to study how to better prevent childhood obesity.
NFL Charities will provide a three-year, $1.8 million grant as
part of its "NFL Play 60" campaign to The Cooper Institute in
Dallas to fund its Fitnessgram program.
The program will be made available to 1,120 schools in the 32
NFL markets over three years. Data on students' fitness will be
gathered and analyzed to determine the best ways to prevent
childhood obesity.
