The Firefly Trail is a community-driven rail-trail in progress. When complete, it will stretch about 39 miles between Union Point and Athens, Ga., connecting three counties and seven towns with a wide, paved, off-road path for walking, running, cycling and rolling that celebrates the historic corridor of the Georgia Railroad Athens Branch, the state’s first chartered railroad.
Firefly Trail launches Year-End Challenge Crowdfunding Campaign! NOW IS THE TIME! Firefly Trail, Inc., needs your help to make our trail happen. CLICK HERE to help make it happen! As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic crushed many of the plans and fundraising events for Firefly Trail Inc., in 2020. Despite this, we and our trail communities moved forward and accomplished many important milestones.
From the beautiful completion of Winterville's Model Mile, to the extension of the trail in Maxeys, to construction of the Model Mile in Union Point, we and our community partners achieved tremendous goals this year. As we plan for 2021, we need to sustain our ability to seek grant opportunities and be ready with matching funds to help our local communities in need. Now, more than ever, it is critical we stay on track with our efforts and keep the momentum moving forward. To do so, we must shore up lost funding if we are to achieve our goals for 2021. As a result, we are launching the Firefly Trail Year-End Crowdfunding Campaign. If you give $30 and encourage 10 friends/family to do the same, we can fill the lost revenue gap due to COVID-19. Please take a look at our Year-End Challenge Crowdfunding page, donate and add your name to the list. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your continued support! TOGETHER, we are building OUR trail and connecting OUR communities.
