BlueCross BlueShield of WNY Announces Snowman Making Challenge

The second annual BlueCross BlueShield Snowman Making Challenge will be held every Sunday during February, the frostiest month of the year in Buffalo, one of the snowiest cities in the nation. 

Beginning Sunday afternoon, February 5 at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park and for each consecutive Sunday, BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York is hosting Snowman Making Challenge events at family-friendly venues in Western New York.  The Challenges are part of the company’s Healthy Changes Everything℠ platform and are a fun way to celebrate winter by taking part in a healthy activity.

The Snowman Making Challenges are free events, open to the public.  Everything you need to build a snowman, or a whole family of snowmen, will be on-site – snow or no snow!  Creativity in the absence of snow will result in surprising “SnowCrows” – a winter take on the standard fall decoration.
