We had a wonderful time hosting three ‘packing days’ at our headquarters, where our dedicated team packed 3,000 backpacks filled with school supplies. 👏 This was all done in anticipation of our fun, annual event, ‘A Night at the Zoo,’ 🦁🦚 coming up at the Philadelphia Zoo on August 24! Todd Harrison, our Community Education Manager, couldn’t be more excited about this gathering that promotes physical activity, education, and unity. The best part? It's free for our health plan members and a great way to give back to our beloved community members before heading back to school. Better hurry and sign up before August 23 at https://lnkd.in/eVM72cn4.
