The fifth annual Minnesota Lynx Great Basketball Dribble in support of breast cancer research was held following the Lynx' win over Seattle on July 20. Approximately 1,000 dribblers took part in the event.
The 2.5-mile event weaves through the streets of downtown Minneapolis, beginning and ending at Target Center. Participants traveled the route with Prowl, the Energy Team and some of the Lynx players — one dribbler even ran the entire route with Lynx guard Georgia Schweitzer — then returned to the starting line for refreshments provided by Applebee's. The entire Lynx team was available for autographs while Jah-Bee entertained the crowd.
In the past five seasons, the Great Basketball Dribble has raised over $500,000 for breast cancer research in the state of Minnesota.
