Sharecare teams up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield on Jump Shot for Health initiative to support Georgia Title 1 schools - Seite 2

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. Administrators at Georgia Title 1 schools interested in learning more about Jump Shot for Health can visit the program’s information page for the latest information and updates.
