Anthem HealthKeepers provides Prince William students bags for books, school supplies

Anthem HealthKeepers Plus Virginia, Virginia’s largest Medicaid provider, saw the need for support and offered it by giving out bags to the SPARK Foundation at Prince William County Public Schools on Friday, February 4, 2022.

“As an organization driven by our purpose – to improve the health of humanity – our company, its associates, and our Foundation are striving to strengthen our communities and address health and social inequities across Virginia.” – Thomas Rayner, Director of Marketing and Member Engagement, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus Virginia.

The SPARK Foundation is an initiative that works to provide innovative programs to support the progress of students in Prince William County. The bags donated by Anthem HealthKeepers Plus were used to carry books and school supplies that were given to teachers and staff for their classes all throughout the county. Anthem representative, Evely Reyes attended the event to personally give out the bags to the community.

Roughly half of the students in Prince William County are considered economically disadvantaged, making it difficult to obtain school books and supplies each semester.
