about our foundation
Sterling Futures Foundation is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of Sterling Hospitality, created to expand nearly 30 years of community giving. Led by CEO, Co-Founder and Executive Chef John C. Metz, the foundation builds on a legacy of raising more than $1.9 million for Special Olympics Georgia through our Annual Golf Classic while continuing our hyperlocal support of schools, youth sports, hospitality charities, and neighborhood families in need. Rooted in hospitality and driven by heart, we exist to serve beyond the table—strengthening our communities, supporting our industry, and creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation.
