Rural and scenic route that crosses Lake Lavon and extends into some great country roads.

Support the Youth of North Texas

I firmly believe that to whom much is given, much is required and humbly try to live by that mantra. I am personally motivated to help kids who don’t have access to the things many of us for granted. Think about it – some kids can see the skyscrapers in downtown Dallas, but to them, that might as well be a world away. Will you join me in showing these kids that the things they dream about can become reality? Will you join me in showing them how much their TEXAS neighbors and friends from across the U.S. care?

This year, the Emmitt Smith Gran Fondo and TEAM 22 fundraising program is getting going further to make those dreams real.! Our partners at OneShare Health are underwriting your registration, so now any ride is just $22 and in return, we are asking that you raise $150 for kids in our community. We’ve selected three partners to support – with three amazing programs that we know are changing kids’ lives: Minnie’s Food Pantry, RockTeen Youth Foundation and the Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities Back to School program. And when you raise money, you are supporting our future and you get great swag from us!
