InspirASIAN Dragons at 2019 Los Angeles Dragon Boat Festival

InspirASIAN Dragons So Cal participated at 7th Annual Los Angeles County Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday, October 5, 2019.

InspirASIAN So Cal brought two teams to the 7th Annual LA County Dragon Boat Festival, an all woman’s team and a mixed community team. We are proud of both teams and how much heart they put into their respective races. This was the first year we have fielded an all women team and they placed 4th by a split second. The mixed team placed 3rd in a close race. Our teams are made up of employees from many different departments (ATO, Sales, DirecTV, Xandr) as well as former employees, friends and family.
