As part of a comprehensive effort to reach out to and connect with diverse communities in the Twin Cities, Minnesota United has formed a multi-year partnership with the Lao Family Foundation, one of the country’s oldest Hmong nonprofit organizations.
The foundation’s signature event is the Annual Hmong International Freedom Festival, now in its 37th year and happening on Saturday, July 1 and Sunday July 2. MNUFC will be the lead sponsor of the festival and will help to facilitate the event’s soccer tournament, including an appearance by MNUFC players, who will host a trick shot competition and meet with fans and players.
