PLAY60 Always the champion when it comes to the NFL’s Play60 message, the Chiefs participated and activated many Play60 programs across the Kansas City area. These programs could be found in schools, community groups, and other agencies, where local youth were estimated to be active for nearly 9 million minutes in 2017. The Chiefs and their Community Caring Team are consistently trying to instill the importance of the NFL’s Play60 message in today’s youth by encouraging our youngest fans to eat healthy and to be active for at least 60 minutes each day. One of the many great examples can be seen in our Chiefs Play60 assemblies, via the American Heart Association’s Play60 Challenge, and through our partnership with Midwest Dairy Association’s Fuel UP to Play60 programming. At the end of the day, the Chiefs encourage youth of various physical and intellectual abilities through a myriad of Play60-themed activities and appearances. Safety Eric Berry joined the National Dairy Council to surprise Principal Bill Weber and students from Turner Middle School during a Fuel Up to Play60 assembly.
In unison with area scout leaders, the Chiefs have created team-specific activity patches tied to Play60focused events including a clinic for Girl Scouts at Chiefs Training Camp presented by Mosaic Life Care.
