SHRINERS HOSPITALS PLAY 60 ALL-ABILITY EVENT

The NFL and Shriners Hospitals for Children will host a PLAY 60 All-Ability event on Monday, Jan. 29 from 5 – 6 p.m. at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Twin Cities (2025 E. River Pkwy.). The NFL PLAY 60 All-Ability event will include activities that allow kids of all-abilities to get active in a fun environment including ultimate football, and various all-ability fitness stations. The NFL is celebrating ten years of getting kids active and healthy through NFL PLAY 60, the league’s youth health and wellness campaign encouraging kids to get active for 60 minutes every day. Unfortunately, children with mobility challenges are less likely to be as active as their peers, which can lead to obesity, lack of strength and other health issues. Shriners Hospitals for Children teamed up with the NFL to ensure that all children have the ability to get active. Together, they collaborated to create the NFL PLAY 60 All-Ability Guide that includes adaptive play activities for children of varying physical abilities to help them live active and healthy lifestyles.
