One month after the completion of the sixth annual Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T, a post-event evaluation has determined that the direct economic impact of the event reached $38.6 million for Georgia.

"What a wonderful week of cycling and community events. The Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T continues to amaze, to entertain and to surpass expectations."

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who supported the 2008 Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T, without whose help the race would not be possible. Some came to help for a stage, while others travelled with the race. Lucy and Joanna Robertson, twin sisters from Washington, D.C. used their vacation to travel with the Tour and volunteer every day from Stage 1 in Tybee Island all the way through to the finish in Atlanta. Thank you Lucy and Joanna, and all the rest of our hard-working volunteers!

Ensure the Tour remains strong in Georgia for years to come! Your tax deductible contribution will be split 50% between the Tour de Georgia and The Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service at Children's Hospital.

The winner of the Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T receives international media attention, rousing applause from cycling fans, the overall leaders award jersey and prize money. But what makes the top step of the awards podium so very special after 600 grueling miles of racing, is that the winner of America’s premier professional cycling stage race is presented a unique creation from the world-famous Fräbel Studio - the Tour de Georgia Trophy.
