 With YOUR help we met - and exceeded - our goal of $40,000!
We had 132 donations, totaling $42,970.31! Special thanks to Piedmont Athens Regional, whose Partnership Donation of $10,000 was the largest of our campaign. But whether you made a large donation or a small one, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT! 2023 promises to be a big year. Several new sections of the trail should open, and major grant proposals are in the works. |
