Mission 57

In recognition of Super Bowl LVII, GENYOUth with support from corporate sponsors is providing grants for 57 Grab and Go meal cart equipment packages to 57 high-need schools in Arizona to increase access to nutritious school meals during breakfast and throughout the school day. The program’s long-term positive impact will include serving over 8.5 million school meals to over 31,000 students per year!

GENYOUth, in partnership with the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, Arizona Milk Producers, Dairy Council® of Arizona, and generous corporate sponsors including Fry’s Food Stores, is kicking off Mission 57: End Student Hunger, a community-based initiative that will equip school nutrition programs with equipment and resources to tackle hunger among youth in Arizona as excitement builds for the BIG Game.

• School meals are a lifeline, and for many students they are the only healthy meal that they receive on some days.
• 84% of Arizona students qualify for free/reduced price school meals based on household income.
• In Arizona, only 55% of students participate in school breakfast for every 100 that participate in school lunch.
• Arizona ranks in the bottom half – 29th out of 51 states – in school breakfast participation.

GENYOUth’s Mission 57 game plan will lead up to and culminate with Taste of the NFL, the Super Bowl’s premier purpose-driven culinary event, on Saturday, February 11, 2023 in Phoenix.

Help take Mission 57: End Student Hunger and Taste of the NFL into the end zone to fight food insecurity among children in Arizona & beyond!
