Supporting Communities 3-Point Play
Partnering with your favorite team
Wellmark works alongside universities in Iowa and South Dakota to inspire sports fans to eat right, move more and feel better. Here's how it works:
Each time a successful field goal is kicked or a three-point shot is made, nominated hometowns have a chance to receive funding to put towards building vibrant, active communities. Since 2010, the program has raised more than $900,000 to support health projects.
Select your team to learn about the partnership and check funding progress and nominate your Iowa or South Dakota hometown for a chance to win this season's health project funding.
Giving back this season: $96,500
Lifetime giving: $944,590
