Sharecare teams up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield on Jump Shot for Health initiative to support Georgia Title 1 schools
11 Abril 2024 - 9:30AM
Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR) and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Georgia jointly announced today an initiative to reward State
Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) members for engaging in healthy
behaviors and support two Georgia Title 1 schools1 in the
process.
Open to all members and their spouses of the Be Well SHBP®
well-being program, which includes public school teachers, bus
drivers, cafeteria workers, state agency employees, and legislators
of the state of Georgia, the four-part Jump Shot for Health steps
challenge officially begins on September 1, 2024, and runs through
the end of the year. To participate, SHBP members simply join the
Jump Shot for Health steps challenge in the Sharecare app and
select a school as the “team” to which they will allocate their
daily steps count.
“The Jump Shot for Health initiative is reflective of SHBP’s
unwavering commitment – not only to provide affordable, quality
health care to our public school teachers and employees and other
state employees, but also to improve the well-being of the
communities in which Georgians live, work, and go to school,” said
Dawn Whaley, president and chief marketing officer of Sharecare.
“Fostering a culture of care is at the heart of everything we do at
Sharecare, and we are fortunate to have like-minded partners who
are as passionate as we are about rewarding Georgians for engaging
in their health and improving community well-being throughout the
Peach State.”
Any designated Title 1 school spanning Georgia’s Regional
Education Service Agencies can apply to become a team in Jump Shot
for Health by submitting an essay on school culture and photos of
their current on-campus physical activity facilities by May 1,
2024. Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee
comprised of executives from Sharecare, Anthem, and the Atlanta
Hawks, with the “sweet sixteen” finalist schools announced on
Monday, July 1, 2024.
“By sponsoring the Jump Shot for Health program, Anthem furthers
its mission of advancing physical activity and promoting healthy
lifestyles for Georgia students and educators,” said Janalyn Kelly,
state account vice president, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield -
Georgia. “We are excited to continue our support of Georgia schools
with Sharecare and look forward to inspiring a lifestyle that
includes physical and mental well-being through increased
movement.”
In January 2025, the Department of Community Health, Sharecare,
and Anthem will announce the two winning schools whose teams
accumulated the most steps. Those teams will receive basketball
court refurbishments in 2025, in coordination with the winning
schools’ schedules. The first-place school will be honored with an
official court unveiling ceremony featuring Atlanta Hawks talent in
2025. Additionally, select runners-up will be awarded prizes,
including basketball equipment and athletic apparel, in partnership
with non-profit Good Sports.
“By participating in the Jump Shot for Health challenge, SHBP
members across the state can take the right steps – literally – to
improve their personal well-being and set an important example of
public service for young Georgians,” said Louis Amis, executive
director of SHBP, a division within the Georgia Department of
Community Health. “We are grateful to these organizations for
making this healthy competition possible, and we look forward to
seeing how this initiative will positively impact our members and
students as well as the communities in which they all live, work,
learn, and play.”
Jump Shot for Health is funded by the generosity of Sharecare,
Anthem, CVS Caremark, Atlanta Hawks, and Good Sports.
