Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana

Let the games begin! We are a proud major sponsor of the 2024 Big Sky State Games | Montana Amateur Sports, which kicked off Friday night at Daylis Stadium in Billings. Participants and fans enjoyed taking in the sites and sounds, including several dance performances, award drawings, a mascot race, the torch-lighting ceremony, and the always popular Montana Mile to close the evening with Haley Burns and Carson Steckelberg claiming gold medals. Good luck and congratulations to all individuals and teams in the annual sports festival. More info: https://bigskygames.org/

Congrats to more than 350 Montana youth, who competed June 14-15 in the USA Track & Field Montana Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Helena, which we were honored to sponsor. Competitors advanced to the USATF Region 11 Championships in Missoula on June 20-22, and the top five finishers in each division at that meet earned a ticket to the USATF National Championships in late July in College Station, TX. Good luck to all those competitors advancing to represent your state on the big stage. State results: http://spr.ly/6046gvNm0 Regional Results: http://spr.ly/6047gvNmF
