NFL Partners - Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans
The Southeast Dairy Association and Tennessee Titans have partnered to bring health and nutrition education to the youth of Tennessee. The organizations’ goals are to encourage children to fuel up to play and implement healthier eating habits in their lives, including consuming the necessary 3 servings daily of milk, cheese or yogurt to build strong bones and committing to 60 minutes of physical activity every day. The collaboration combines the nutrition expertise of the Southeast Dairy Association and the fitness expertise of the NFL to give children the tools and resources needed to change their personal health habits.
Listen to the Tennessee Farm Bureau's "Titans of Taste" story from 2/27/09 to hear from local dairy farmers and Titans Defensive End Kyle Vanden Bosch.

David Thornton, Tennessee Titans linebacker and Titans Community Man of the Year, joined Tracy Noerper, registered dietitian with the Southeast Dairy Association (SUDIA), at the April 25 Board of Directors meeting of the Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
