Football fun, free school supplies and more this fall!
- June 24, 2025
From football fun to school supplies to tooth fairies, we have it all this fall at our ArkansasBlue Welcome Centers and community events! Visit our community calendar and check back often for activities near you.
It’s an ArkansasBlue Blitz!
Wear your favorite football flair and join us from noon to 2 p.m. on Friday, September 26, for hot dogs, drinks, fun games and great prizes. The first 30 attendees at each location will receive a $25 gift card. You can also register to win a grill, cooler, camping chairs and more! Find a Welcome Center near you at ArkansasBlue Welcome Centers – Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
An A+ celebration
A strong education is key to a successful future, and it’s essential for students to have the supplies they need. During our Back to School with Blue event, running August 1-20, we’ll give away school supplies like pencils, crayons and more (while they last). We’ll also hold a drawing for a Teacher Appreciation basket at each ArkansasBlue Welcome Center, with winners announced on August 20.
Something worth smiling about!
Make caring for your smile a magical experience! In celebration of National Tooth Fairy Day on Friday, August 22, stop by your local ArkansasBlue Welcome Center during business hours August 11-22. You’ll receive a free Tooth Fairy pouch that includes a pledge card – perfect for helping kids make an early commitment to good oral care. Available while supplies last.
