On May 10 and 11, the Dad Vail Regatta celebrated its 81st rowing competition with thousands of student-athletes from over 100 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Independence Blue Cross proudly returned as a presenting sponsor of this iconic Philadelphia tradition, which is also the largest collegiate regatta in North America.
Speaking at the kick-off celebration on Friday, May 10, Independence SVP Public Affairs Stephen Fera said, “Part of Independence’s 80-year commitment to the health and well-being of this community is a mindset we call #FearlessFit which includes supporting activities that celebrate community and a healthy lifestyle—like the Dad Vail. Each year, Philadelphia looks forward to the Dad Vail bringing world-class athletes and fans from around the world to the Schuylkill River. Independence is proud to be a part of this iconic tradition.”
