Wellmark’s 3-Point Play returns with start of college football

DES MOINES — Throughout the 2021-2022 football and basketball seasons, college sports fans are encouraged to nominate their Iowa hometowns for a chance to receive an award from Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s 3-Point Play program.

In the news release sent out last Thursday, each time a successful field goal is kicked or a three-pointer is made by any of the Division I university sports teams in both states, Wellmark awards $300 and $20, respectively, to support health improvement projects that enhance community infrastructure.
