The most important benefit Georgia Power has experienced as the title sponsor of the Parade of Excellence, is our ability to help promote the accomplishments of Project Success, a post-secondary preparation, tuition-assistance and mentoring program that receives proceeds from the Atlanta Football Classic Weekend.

We understand that the quality of life in our communities directly affects the success of our business.
