CytoSport, the maker of Muscle Milk, announced the launch of the Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program which will provide up to $250,000 in grants to help rebuild and revitalize high school athletic programs around the country. 

Submissions for high school programs will be accepted on the Muscle Milk Facebook page (www.facebook.com/musclemilk) starting May 21 through November 30, 2012.  

“High school athletic programs are critical to the overall development of student-athletes, and we are dedicated to helping them succeed,” said CytoSport Chief Marketing Officer Nikki Brown.  “The Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program is a great way we can provide financial resources to programs in need in local communities around the country.”       

Grants will be awarded up to $25,000 per submission to programs that show a financial hardship outlined in the application process.  Applicants must be at least 14 years old and can nominate the high school of their choice.  They will be required to submit a written statement outlining their program's needs, provide photos that support their request and will have the option to upload a video link to help further tell their story.   

Recipient programs will be selected in January 2013.

In conjunction with the launch of the Muscle Milk Recovery Grant Program, Muscle Milk will also launch limited time packaging that includes a red, white and blue theme.  A portion of sales from the patriotic packaging will go toward funding the Recovery Grant Program.
