The cost of registration for the CT Classic is $200 and all support is tax deductible. The CT Classic will raise funds to provide scholarships for people with MS and their families to attend The Heuga Center’s CAN DO Program. Additionally, 5% of proceeds will support the Colorado Trail Foundation and Trails 2000 to continue our support of this precious national landmark and vital natural resource for our state- the Colorado Trail.

The Heuga Center’s Fiscal Responsibility: 81 percent of funds raised is spent on programs and service for people and families living with MS. The Better Business Bureau’s standard is 65 percent.

The Heuga Center earned four stars, the highest rating possible, from nonprofit evaluator Charity Navigator for our ability to efficiently manage and grow our finances. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest and most-utilized, independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations.
