We are pleased to welcome United Community Bank as a returning sponsor, this year at the Mechanic level! UCB provides financial solutions with a full suite of digital banking services. Thanks for sponsoring the 2023 Ticket to Ride!
This year, we also want to highlight our partnership with Piedmont Athens Regional. The good folks at Piedmont recognize the tremendous health benefits the Firefly Trail can and will bring to the communities of Northeast Georgia, and have pledged $10,000 a year for 5 years to help raise awareness and build more miles of trail. Thank you, PAR!
We are honored that St. Mary’s Health Care System has once again returned as a sponsor at the Engineer level. St. Mary’s has hospitals near both ends of the trail – Athens/Clarke County and Greene County, and has a mission to serve as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within the community. Thank you!
A big Firefly Trail “thank you” to Joiner and Associates for sponsoring the ticket to Ride once again, this year at the Engineer level. Joiner and Associates is a full-service property management and Real Estate company serving the Athens and Oconee Area.

We are proud and honored to announce that Athens Physical Therapy has returned as the Presenting Sponsor for the 2023 Firefly Trail Ticket to Ride! We can't say enough good things about Dr. Chris and Stephanie Doerr, the staff at APT, and the amazing work they do for their patients, the community, and the Firefly Trail. Thank you, APT!
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. Thanks to a grant from the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program (GOSP) the majority of the Firefly Trail in Greene County will be completed by Fall of 2023. This grant will also help get the project started in Oglethorpe County.
This grant would not have been possible without matching grant funds from Firefly Trail, Inc. That's why our Year-End Giving Campaign is so important. We need to replenish our grant matching funds so that we can help other communities get the grants they need to complete the trail. Donate today and help us finish building the Firefly Trail! GOSP Grant Project components: - Greene County: Clearing, grading and construction of approximately 3.5 miles of trail. (This will complete the unincorporated Greene County section of Firefly Trail.) - Union Point: Construction of a bridge over N. Rhodes Street and an additional 0.15 miles of trail. - Woodville: Clearing, grading and construction of approximately 1.4 miles of trail, leaving 1.2 miles in Woodville to complete with a future grant. - Maxeys (Oglethorpe Co.): Clearing and initial prep. for future construction of 0.9 miles of trail, to complete Maxeys' 2.1 mile section. Check out the amazing progress on the Southern Section of the Firefly Trail! Crews have graded and prepped a segment on the south side of Woodville and earlier today were laying concrete. Meanwhile, grading is well underway on the north side of Woodville as well as the south side of Maxeys. Imagine walking, running or riding through these beautiful woods! Huge thanks to Greene County and the PATH Foundation for managing this grant-funded project, to the Cities of Woodville, Maxeys and Union Point for partnering to make it happen, and to the hundreds of Firefly Trail Inc. donors whose contributions helped meet the matching funds requirements for the grant!
