Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa has raised $16,600 for the Ames Parks and Recreation Department and nearly $7,000 for the Des Moines Park and Recreation Department as part of a promotion with the Iowa State University and Drake University football and basketball teams.

Wellmark has donated money to the groups as part of its Wellmark 3-Point Play program, donating money for every field goal in football and every successful 3-point shot in men’s or women’s basketball.

The group presented a check to the Des Moines Park and Recreation Department during last night’s Drake men’s basketball game, and will present a check to the Ames department during Saturday’s Iowa State men’s basketball game.
