The Washington Wizards and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) are proud to announce that CareFirst is sponsoring the "Community Threes" initiative for the fifth consecutive season. For every three-point shot made by a Wizards’ player this season, CareFirst is donating $100 to the Covenant House DC Peer Pregnancy Program. The mission of the Covenant House DC Peer Pregnancy Program is to reduce teen pregnancy and encourage youth to develop a healthy self-esteem, set goals, and make good decisions.

“The Washington Wizards franchise and players, through initiatives such as the Community Threes program, represent the District and the National Basketball Association as a model sports team,” said Gregory A. Devou, CareFirst Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “This season marks the fifth consecutive year the Wizards and CareFirst have partnered to improve health care access in the District, and we're grateful to our hometown Wizards for their strong play, sportsmanship and shared commitment to our community during this time.”

“We are proud of our partnership with CareFirst because of their commitment to our community and to our team,” said Wizards Senior Vice President of Community Relations Judy Holland-Burton. “This is the fifth season for the Community 3s program and we are in the midst of another great year.”

This season, the Wizards made 395. Antawn Jamison led the team with 112 three-pointers, followed by Mike James (66), Caron Butler (65) and Nick Young (56).
