More Than a Competition: Summer Games is Back!
Summer Games returns Friday, July 17! Hot Dog Friday kicks off two weeks of friendly competition across GBA. With events running through Thursday, July 30, this annual tradition is all about stepping away from the day-to-day routine, having fun and earning up to 3,000 wellness points along the way.
New to Summer Games? You will randomly be assigned to either the Red Team or Blue Team, while returning participants will remain on their existing teams. Every event you participate in earns points toward your team’s overall score, so every point counts.
On event days, employees are welcome to wear their Summer Games t-shirt and work appropriate shorts to show team spirit and stay comfortable throughout the activities.
SPECIAL INVITE: Join us on Thursday, August 6, for the companywide Summer Games Closing Ceremony. Celebrate this year’s competition and find out LIVE which team earns bragging rights for 2026. A calendar invite will be sent to all participants.

Many health conditions develop gradually and may not show clear symptoms at first. Knowing your numbers helps you better understand your current health and make informed decisions with your healthcare provider about next steps.
