Tuesday, Oct. 3, proved to be the perfect day for the Buffalo Bills, Independent Health Foundation, and the Buffalo Niagara American Heart Association to launch the Play 60 Challenge and Fitness for Kids Challenge. The programs, which launched in over five hundred classrooms in the area, aim to encourage children between grades two and five to participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, while also encouraging healthy nutritional choices.
As the Bills entered the pep rally, they were greeted with high fives and handmade signs from children decked out in Bills apparel. After introducing themselves and sharing tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, they welcomed questions from the youngsters.
