Week 1

 

Each week, while two teams compete on the field during NFL Network's Thursday Night Football matchup, two deserving youth health and fitness projects from the corresponding cities will face off here in the NFL PLAY 60 DonorsChoose.org Showdown.

 

Based on fan votes, NFL PLAY 60 will fully fund the winning project, while the other project will get 50% funding towards its goal. Vote now!

 

 
 

City: Chicago, Illinois
School: Namaste Charter School
Teacher: Ms. Rose 

My students need:

25 mvpa pedometers in order to boost moderate to vigorous physical activity. MVPA pedometers show not only the amount of steps taken in a given time, but also minutes spent in moderate to vigorous activity. Our students can use this information to self-monitor activity output and create individual activity goals for themselves.

City: Green Bay, Wisconsin
School: Southwest High School 
Teacher: Mrs. Johnson 

My students need:

More fitness, strength training and resistance exercise tools in order to keep improving their strength and fitness levels. We will use the equipment for physical education classes, athletic teams, after school training programs, and after school fitness classes and programs. We need to keep more moving!
