2017 STERLING HOSPITALITY GOLF TOURNAMENT PUSHES GRAND FUNDRAISING TOTAL

OVER $900,000 FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS GEORGIA

ATLANTA (Oct. 18, 2017) – Thanks to the unrivaled combination of passionate staff and committed community members, Sterling Hospitality – the parent company of Marlow’s Tavern and Sterling Spoon Culinary Management – is helping some very special youth thrive with its annual Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA) golf classic. This year’s event took place Sept. 18 at Country Club of Roswell. Following the golf tournament, participants and athletes were invited to a silent auction dinner. The day’s collective efforts were responsible for a 2017 donation that reached almost $130,000.

Sterling Hospitality has been a proud partner of SOGA since 1999. With this recent fundraiser, the group thrillingly pushed the grand fundraising total over $900,000.

John C. Metz, executive chef, CEO and co-founder of Sterling Hospitality and an active leader in the mission of SOGA, is thrilled with the results from this year’s golf tournament.

“I look forward to this event every year. Not only is it a fun day on the golf course, it’s also a time for our team, the athletes and participants to come together and support this worthy cause. I’m ecstatic over the progress we’ve made in fundraising,” Metz says.
