MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins in partnership with the Dairy Council of Florida and Fuel Up to Play60 surprised the students of McNicol Middle School in Broward County with a $10,000 grant as part of the partnership's continued commitment towards supporting youth health and wellness through the Hometown Grants Program on Friday, Nov. 19.
"We are so excited to partner with McNicol Middle School and the Miami Dolphins to teach children the importance of not only getting in 60 minutes of physical activity per day but also fueling their bodies the right way, including dairy," Dairy Counil of Florida Director of Youth Wellness Teresa Moran-Wiebe said.
