PARMA, Ohio - Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden made a visit to Parma Park Elementary School on Tuesday to present the building with a $10,000 NFL Play 60 Super School check.
The money will be used for health and wellness programming and equipment at the school.
Designed to tackle childhood obesity, NFL PLAY 60 brings together the NFL's commitment to health and wellness as part of the NFL's in-school, after-school and team-based programs.
Parma Park Elementary was one of 34 schools selected by the NFL from across the country to get the funding.
Since the program was launched in 2007, the NFL has committed more than $250 million to youth health and fitness through programming and grants.
More than 100 NFL Youth Fitness Zones have been built and NFL teams organized more than 1,500 PLAY 60 youth events since the campaign launched.
