Georgia Power Commits USD 100,000 to Post-Helene Rebuild of Camp Tanglewood

Georgia Power is putting USD 100,000 into the Trails to Tomorrow Capital Campaign run by Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, a fund aimed at strengthening Camp Tanglewood and expanding what the camp offers to girls. The utility will hand over the gift at Camp Tanglewood on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m..

The money lands on a property still working its way back from storm damage. Camp Tanglewood continues to move forward after extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene, which hit cabins, infrastructure, and other areas across the site.

The check presentation is scheduled to run about 30 minutes. Guests then have the option of touring the camp and hearing more about the thinking behind Trails to Tomorrow and the Girl Scout DreamLab.

That DreamLab is the campaign's centerpiece: a dedicated space built to give girls room to explore, create, collaborate, and turn their ideas into action.

Georgia Power's contribution is directed at the rebuilding of a single site inside the territory it serves, rather than at generation or network assets. The recipient, Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, is the campaign's operator and the party that will take receipt of the gift.

The announcement carried across the Georgia CEO Network on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, under a Staff Report From Georgia CEO byline, appearing on Albany CEO, Augusta CEO, Valdosta CEO, and Metro Atlanta CEO. That network runs newswires, newsletters, databases, and local web sites in cities across Georgia, including Albany, Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Gainesville, LaGrange, Middle Georgia, Newnan, Rome, Savannah, Tifton, and Valdosta.

For readers tracking utility spending outside the rate base, the item is small and specific: a fixed sum, a named campaign, a dated handover, and a storm-damaged property in the utility's own service area.
