Since 2009 the NFL has partnered with The Cooper Institute® - a worldwide leader in preventative medicine research - to supply each of the league's 32 member clubs with FITNESSGRAM licenses to distribute to local schools and community organizations. Developed in 1982 by The Cooper Institute, FITNESSGRAM is the nation's leading tool in assessing and tracking student fitness levels, mandated in the state of Texas and adopted by the Presidential Youth Fitness Program. The Cowboys work with The Cooper Institute locally by rewarding schools who successfully meet FITNESSGRAM benchmarks with Dallas Cowboys experiences.
