Swamp Park receives $1,000 from McDonald’s Golden Grant program

Okefenokee Swamp Park was among a dozen recipients of a 2025 McDonald’s Golden Grant.

The park received one of the five $1,000 awards presented in the South Georgia and North Florida area, the company announced last week. All total, $45,000 was presented in this year’s program, the largest being two of $10,000.

Like Okefenokee, the other recipients were organizations that fuel local youth's imagination, education, and growth and positively impact the lives of hundreds of area children.
