Marlow's Tavern Golf Tournament Bags More Than $128K for Special Olympics Georgia

Marlow’s Tavern, the Woodall and Sterling Culinary Management executive chef, CEO and co-founder John C. Metz is pleased to announce that the 23rd Annual Golf Classic raised $119,805 for Special Olympics Georgia.

“Over the last 23 years, Special Olympics Georgia has become a valued part of our family,” says Metz. “Thanks to our generous participants and supporters, we were able to raise a significant amount of money for this incredible organization that does so much for these amazing athletes and their families.”

This year’s fun-filled competition took place on Oct. 11 at the Country Club of Roswell with participants enjoying breakfast, lunch and a challenging round of golf that culminated in a festive reception and silent auction where all funds raised directly benefit SOGA athletes. Since the inception of its partnership with SOGA in 1999, the restaurant group has raised more than $1.6 million to help fund athletic competitions and provide life-changing experiences to the 26,620 athletes, their families and the community.

“We remain incredibly grateful for our long-time partnership with Marlow’s Tavern, the Woodall and Sterling Culinary Management,” says Georgia Milton-Sheats, CEO of Special Olympics Georgia. “The support they provide year after year has brought an astounding $1.6 million to our organization that has allowed us to continue serving these extraordinary athletes and their families.”

In September, Marlow’s Tavern hosted a fundraiser that generated nearly $24,000 for Special Olympics Georgia, thanks to donations made by generous guests.
