Blue Cross is proud to sponsor the 2016 Dragon Festival’s race around Lake Phalen. This year will mark the 7th annual walk and the 4th annual 5K run. Participating in these events is a great way to get started on exercising your body every day to improve your overall health. Whether you walk, run or just want to get in on the fun, we invite you to join us for a beautiful day around the lake for a good cause.
All proceeds of the event registrations will benefit the Hmong Women Achieving Together (HWAT) and the Dragon Festival. Hnub Tshiab (Hmong women's) mission is to be a catalyst for lasting cultural, institutional and social change to improve the lives of Hmong women.
