The Fuel Up to Play 60 Activation Exchange was a huge hit at the 2011 Destination ImagiNation Global Finals. Participants of the special event jumped, climbed and traversed their way through a variety of intense fitness and nutrition Challenges! Participants were also tested in a live trivia game and ran through a one-of-a-kind obstacle course. They also exchanged ideas with other participants about fitness and nutrition changes they would like to make in their schools and communities.
The National Dairy Council®, local Dairy Councils, and the National Football League have teamed up to bring Fuel Up to Play 60—a youth-led initiative that mobilizes students to eat healthier and get active—to 60,000 schools this year.
Fuel Up to Play 60 empowers students to take the lead in eating more healthy foods and being more active, by inspiring kids to "fuel up" with the nutrient-rich foods they often lack—low-fat or fat-free dairy, fruits, vegetables and whole grains—and "get up and play" with 60 minutes of daily physical activity.
Destination ImagiNation has supported Fuel Up to Play 60 initiatives for several years, and the organization is excited to continue to work with this amazing program.
