Camp Toccoa<br />
AT CURRAHEE PROJECT<br />
Welcome to Camp Toccoa at Currahee! The purpose<br />
of this project is to celebrate the lives and contributions<br />
of the paratroopers who trained at Camp Toccoa<br />
on Currahee Mountain during World War II. Each of<br />
the boys who left that mountain as “Toccoa men” and<br />
those who have carried on the tradition of Currahee<br />
deserve to have their legacy preserved for generations<br />
to come. The Camp Toccoa at Currahee Project<br />
started as a dream that “should be” done and has now<br />
become a project that “must be” completed authentically<br />
for the stories of these true American heroes to<br />
be told on the hallowed ground where their lives were<br />
changed forever.<br />
The 70th Anniversaries of Camp Toccoa and D-Day<br />
remind us that future generations deserve the opportunity<br />
to visit Camp Toccoa and see, hear and feel<br />
what those men learned and took with them as they<br />
served their country around the world. We hope that<br />
there are others who will join Camp Toccoa at Currahee,<br />
a 501C3, non-profit organization, to preserve the<br />
legacy of these great American heroes who trained<br />
on this mountain. Without each of us committing to<br />
this project, the heritage and legacy of Currahee will<br />
be lost forever.<br />

Sunshine<br />
ON A RANNEY DAY<br />
Sunshine on a Ranney Day is a 501(c)(3) charity<br />
that does room makeovers for children with long term<br />
illness. All proceeds go to funding future makeovers.<br />
Holly and Peter Ranney, the founders of Sunshine<br />
on a Ranney Day created the charity out of a desire to<br />
serve their community and make a positive impact in<br />
the lives of others while utilizing their passions and<br />
skills. Transforming a child’s special space into a<br />
personalized and comfortable place - an escape from<br />
their daily struggles - has become their mission. Since<br />
it’s inception in mid-2012, they have heard the stories<br />
of many kids with long-term illness. Each child, each<br />
family, each story tugs at their collective heart. Both<br />
Peter and Holly wish they could assist every family<br />
they hear about. With the guidance of the Board of<br />
Directors and a strong group of dedicated advisers<br />
and volunteers, Sunshine on a Ranney Day is paving<br />
the way for exciting and rewarding makeovers!<br />
We invite you to browse our website and see what<br />
we’re up to. Perhaps you, too, will be inspired to help<br />
us help these special families.<br />
