The Washington Wizards and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield are proud to announce that CareFirst will sponsor the "Community Threes" initiative for the third consecutive season. For every three-point shot made by a Wizards’ player this season, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield will donate $100 to the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington for the YMCA's Physically Healthy & Driven (PhD) program.

Through games played on April 15, the Wizards have made 549 three-pointers this season.

“In partnering with the Wizards on the Community Threes program again this year, we are supporting the YMCA’s efforts to address childhood obesity in the DC area,” said Gregory A. Devou, CareFirst Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “We are excited to be a part of helping to educate DC youth and their families to lead healthier lives.”

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

Last season, the Wizards totaled 497 three-pointers made in 82 regular season games, including 199 three-pointers from All-Star guard Gilbert Arenas (second in the NBA), and a career-high 147 three-pointers from Antawn Jamison, more than double his previous career-high.
