High School Chocolate Milk Grants
Your high school athletes could be the next Michigan chocolate milk mustache celebrities!
If your high school athletes aren’t powering up with low-fat chocolate milk, then this is a great opportunity to get started! Chocolate milk is ‘Nature’s Sports Drink’, and provides many important nutrients needed for overall health, including calcium, potassium and vitamin D.
We are now accepting applications for the 2019-2020 school year!
Moving forward, there will be a new component to the grant. Teams will need to select from one of two community outreach opportunities. Click on the links directly below to learn more about these news additions.
-Community Outreach Fuel Up With Milk School Challenge
High school sports teams in Michigan will be rewarded with cash to purchase low-fat chocolate milk for their team to replenish after practices and games for the entire season (cash value determined by size of team), up to two soft-sided wheeled cooler bags for easy milk transport, prizes, nutrition education materials to use for the promotion of Chocolate Milk: Nature’s Sports Drink, and professional posters featuring the teams’ chocolate milk mustache photo!

Testimonials:
“This wonderful chocolate milk grant has been nothing but spectacular for
my cross country teams. I truly believe that it has helped in reducing injuries and has also helped with a quicker recovery time. And because of this, we exceeded our team and personal goals. Another great aspect this grant brings to a team is that it generates positive team chemistry. We truly enjoyed posing for the picture, and our after practice chocolate milk social gatherings were priceless for team bonding. Selfishly, I wish I could apply annually for this amazing grant. If your school or sport program needs a fantastic nutritional boost, look no further than the Milk Means More chocolate milk grant.”
