75th Birthday: Mohave Community Events

To commemorate our 75 years in business and thank Arizona for always supporting its locally based health insurer, we’re launching a 12-month celebration reaching every county in the state. Over the years, Arizona has given so much to us, we couldn’t think of a better way to say “thank you,” than to give back. Please visit our 75th birthday webpage to learn more about what we are doing to celebrate.

Help and Support for New Beginnings

Talk about the power of connection: thanks to gifted mentors and leading-edge technology, the future is looking much brighter for the children of Phoenix Day’s After-School Program.

The program’s participants come from neighborhoods where gang activity, drug abuse and poverty are prevalent. Phoenix Day offers homework assistance, recreation and sports, plus nutritious snacks and hot dinners, to at-risk kids in South Phoenix. But until recently, the children, who rely on the center’s computers to complete school assignments, were at a distinct technological disadvantage.

The nonprofit organization has been challenged of late to provide adequate support because it lacks updated technology and resources. Dozens of children have just two desktop computers to share—both very old and unreliable. Additionally, the center no longer has Internet service due to connectivity problems. And, that’s where Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) stepped in.
