MARLOW’S TAVERN AND STERLING SPOON’S 17TH ANNUAL GOLF
CLASSIC
PUTS SPECIAL OLYMPICS GEORGIA IN THE WINNERS CIRCLE
Longtime Partnership Has Raised Well Over $600,000, Including
$100,000 this Year
from Tournament and Restaurant Openings
ATLANTA (Nov.
10, 2015) – Marlow's Tavern, Aqua blue and Sterling Spoon Culinary Management have done
it again! The restaurants and hospitality management company hosted their 17th Annual Golf Classic in
September to drive up much-needed funds for Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA), as well as hosting two Marlow's
Tavern grand opening parties in Woodstock and Roswell that benefited the
charity. The combined amount raised from all three events this fall was
$100,000, putting the partnership's grand total well over $600,000 since
inception.
"A big part of being a
neighborhood restaurant company is connecting with the people and causes in our
communities," said John C. Metz, executive chef and co-founder of
Marlow’s Tavern, Aqua blue and Sterling Spoon Culinary Management. "Seeing
how we have made a difference for the Special Olympics athletes here in Georgia
has been very rewarding for our team, and we are grateful to our sponsors and
guests who continue supporting this great cause year after year with
us."
Steve Martin is one of those
supporters. The manager of ArtLite
signed on as a golfer for the inaugural outing and has been an ardent
participant since, most recently as the event chair. “I always thought Special Olympics was a
great cause, but I had no idea just how great until I chaired this golf
tournament and met some of the athletes from the Georgia chapter,” he says.
“It’s so uplifting to watch their faces filled with joy out there on the
course. As long as I can hold a club, I plan to be a part of this amazing golf
outing.”
Special Olympics Georgia provides year-round
sports training and athletic competition in 25 Olympic-type sports for 26,702
children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing
opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy
and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their
families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. The goal is to
help bring people with intellectual disabilities into the larger society under
conditions whereby they are accepted, respected, and given the chance to become
useful and productive citizens. For more information, visit SpecialOlympicsGA.org.
