Rennie Curran, linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2007-2009, will  join the fundraising event “Tailgate for Tykes” sponsored by Circle Ranch on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Oconee Brewing Company.

Curran, while at the University of Georgia, was a three-time All-American Team MVP, Butkus Award finalist and permanent team captain. He finished his Bulldog career as one of the greatest linebackers in the history of the program.  

In 2010 Curran entered the NFL Draft. He played with the Tennessee Titans, the Edmonton Eskimos and the BC lions. 

He is now a keynote speaker and author. He speaks on leadership, overcoming adversity, character and more. He speaks to Fortune 500 companies, associations, sport teams, schools, Boys & Girls Clubs and non-profit organizations.  

He is author of a children’s book, “Are You a Star?”

Curran has a heart for children and his mission through his book is to encourage children to have the confidence in knowing they were created to be special no matter what they do in life.

“We are thrilled to have Rennie join us,” said Jody Sandwick, executive director of Circle Ranch. He will sign autographs and his book will also be available to purchase.

“Tailgate for Tykes” will be an event to help raise funds to purchase acreage for the Ranch. Doors will open at 5:30 and event will run though 10 p.m.  Wear your favorite team apparel and join us. There will be a taco, fajita bar catered by Lake County catering, a 50/50 drawing, a live auction of six special items and a corn hole tournament. Music will be provided by the Ronnie Pitman Duo.
