IMPACT ON A NATION

The National Football League has done more to improve youth health and fitness than almost any other organization across the country. The Cooper Institute is proud to honor the NFL Foundation for its incredible work to get kids active and healthy under the leadership and guidance of chairman Charlotte Jones Anderson.

“It’s all about prevention. We want to inspire young kids to do the right thing, to be active, to be motivated by playing.” Charlotte Jones Anderson

As part of the NFL PLAY 60 FitnessGram Project, research from The Cooper Institute proves that this program works to improve youth fitness. The partnership has been renewed for another two years.

Since creating NFL PLAY 60 in 2007, the NFL has committed more than $352 million to improve fitness by encouraging kids to get out and play for 60 minutes a day.

“The NFL is determined to be a force for positive change. NFL PLAY 60 has the greatest impact on children across the country.”
