Dairy MAX awarded 80 Austin Independent School District Elementary Schools $4,000 each for a total of $320,000 for a district-wide implementation.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school nutrition and physical activity program launched by the National Dairy Council, Dairy MAX and the National Football League in collaboration with United States Department of Agriculture.
