Hello ARPA Members,

We are reaching out today with some exciting news. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama recently announced a state-wide partnership with National Fitness Campaign to launch a new round of $500,000 in grant funding to support the growth of the NFC initiative across Alabama. If you are not yet familiar with the campaign, the program is designed to bring world-class wellness infrastructure to public spaces, along with consulting, funding, and community programming support.

Please respond to this email to let us know if you are interested in attending a priority briefing and we will assist in scheduling a 30-minute zoom call with our partners at National Fitness Campaign to support qualification for your community.
