State Farm is stepping onto the court at NBA All-Star 2026 to celebrate the shot that changed the game forever. As title partner of the NBA 3-Point Contest, the brand is marking a significant milestone in its basketball journey and positioning itself at the heart of the action.

The State Farm NBA 3-Point Contest returns as part of NBA All-Star Saturday, airing live at 5 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock from Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on February 14.

Fans will see the league's elite sharpshooters battle for the crown with State Farm woven directly into the fabric of the competition.

How the contest works:

  • Players compete to see who can sink the most threes from around the arc against the clock. Competitors will work through ball racks positioned at five main shooting locations around the three-point arc.
  • Four of the racks contain four official NBA game balls and one multi-colored “money” ball. Shots made with an NBA ball is worth one point, while baskets made with the multi-colored ball is worth two points.
  • The fifth rack will be a special “all money ball” rack containing five multi-colored “money” balls (meaning each made basket for a ball on this rack is worth two points). Each competitor will decide where this rack is placed (i.e., at which one of the five main shooting locations).
  • Two additional “Deep Shot” balls, each worth three points, will be featured on custom State Farm-branded pedestals. Positioned “From the Logo” inside the State Farm oval, these shots introduce a high-stakes element that spotlights the brand during the contest’s most exciting moments.
  • Every successful Deep Shot will cue the State Farm jingle and unlock a $15,000 donation to Habitat for Humanity, reinforcing the impact of State Farm both on and off the court.

“The 3-Point Contest represents the ultimate test of precision, skill and consistency under pressure,” said Kristyn Cook, Chief Agency, Sales & Marketing Officer at State Farm. “Owning this stage lets us celebrate the discipline required to perform at a championship level. It’s the same mindset we take in our ‘With the Assist’ platform, ensuring that our presence on game day translates into tangible support for customers and neighbors every day.”

This new ownership position is part of a multi-year partnership renewal that extends a long-standing relationship with the league which dates back to 2010, ensuring the State Farm presence is woven throughout the NBA season—from American Express NBA Tip-Off to All-Star to NBA Playoffs presented by Google and the NBA Finals.

State Farm is also bringing this energy to the WNBA and NBA G League by serving as the title partner of the G League 3-Point Contest taking place on Saturday, February 14 during NBA All-Star at G League Park in the Los Angeles Convention Center and the WNBA 3-Point Contest as part of AT&T WNBA All-Star 2026 on Friday, July 24 at Wintrust Arena, home of the Chicago Sky.

]]>State Farm® and the Atlanta Hawks have combined forces to help combat food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic among vulnerable populations in Atlanta.

By providing support to Goodr, an Atlanta-based social impact startup leveraging technology to reduce food waste and end hunger, senior citizens and low-income students who rely on subsidized school meals will have access to five pop-up grocery stores in underserved communities throughout Atlanta.

In collaboration with the Atlanta Department of Recreation, Goodr, founded by social entrepreneur Jasmine Crowe, is adapting its normal operations to comply with CDC guidelines recommending social distancing and avoidance of large gatherings. Using a drive/walk-through system to distribute the food, three of the five pop-up grocery stores will be at State Farm Good Neighbor Clubs, dedicated educational and entertainment centers, or basketball courts renovated through the Hawks Foundation.

“This is the third time Jasmine and her team at Goodr has provided the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm with a platform and a means to help our more vulnerable neighbors during a critical time of need,” said State Farm AVP – Human Resources Clarence Hearns. “In the weeks to come, we hope what is shared at these free pop-up grocery stores will be a source of nourishment as well as give the families a sense of reassurance in community.”

Each pop-up grocery store is expected to serve 300 to 600 families with two weeks of groceries, including fresh produce, shelf-stable items and meats.

“In this unprecedented time filled with uncertainty for so many, we are honored to partner with Jasmine and support her team at Goodr,” Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena CEO Steve Koonin said. “They are providing a tremendous vehicle to truly help our fellow Atlantans, providing the comfort of knowing where their next meals are coming from.”

 

 

LIFT Scholars stock GSU food pantry

Also in Atlanta, State Farm LIFT Scholars stocked a Georgia State University campus food pantry with more than 1,000 jars of peanut butter donated by State Farm employees. The State Farm Education Assist® program offers 50 scholarships per year and other assistance to Georgia State students.

“State Farm’s support is an amazing example of the way that philanthropy can have an amplifying effect,” said Heath Wood, senior director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for Georgia State. “The LIFT Scholars receiving scholarship support from State Farm are paying that generosity forward by giving back to the community to support others facing difficult circumstances.”
