The Community – Inactivity is killing us. Americans are gaining weight at an alarming weight. Our children are becoming obese before they reach 10 years of age, Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes is being seen more and more in young children. Now, more than ever, we need to encourage our children, and each other, to be active. The Collin Classic is designed to give people of all ages a good reason to get out in the country for a nice bike ride. You can find a route to fit every fitness level. So come on out and ride for victory!
Local Organizations – Since 1984, The Samaritan Inn, a non-profit organization, has helped thousands of homeless people in Collin County regain their independence with comprehensive programs and the help of caring individuals and corporations. The Samaritan Inn was established in 1984 after community leaders joined together to address the issue of homelessness in Collin County. Twenty five years later, The Samaritan Inn is still the only homeless shelter in a county of over 762,000 residents.
