From 1990 to 2007, Schuerholz served as general manager of the Atlanta Braves, turning the team’s six-year losing streak around within his first year. Following his 17 legendary years as general manager, Schuerholz spent the next decade as the Braves president. Since 2016, he has served as the team’s vice chairman. “Widely considered one of the most successful and influential general managers in baseball history, John forever changed Atlanta Braves baseball,” said Dan Corso, president of the Atlanta Sports Council. “As both a community leader and a 50-year baseball veteran, John embodies all that the Lifetime Achievement Award stands for, and we look forward to recognizing his achievements on June 7.” In addition to his influence on the diamond, Schuerholz made his mark on the local community as a board member of YES! Atlanta, a local non-profit that provides mentorship to at-risk youth of Atlanta. A passionate advocate for Yes! Atlanta, Schuerholz donated his name to an annual golf tournament that benefitted the organization. As president of the Atlanta Braves, Schuerholz oversaw the Atlanta Braves Foundation, which provides financial support to local organizations and strives to make a positive impact on the community.

  • Atlanta Sports Council to Honor Arthur Blank with 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by Coca-Cola
    Media Contact: Charles Edwards 678-802-1153 [email protected] Traci Messier 404-214-3596 [email protected] Atlanta Sports Council to Honor Arthur Blank with 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by Coca-Cola ATLANTA (April 17, 2017) – Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank will receive the Atlanta Sports Council’s Lifetime Achievement Award Presented by Coca-Cola at the 2017 Atlanta Sports Awards on July 13 at the Rialto Center for the Arts. Tickets to the award show are now available to purchase. “Arthur is a tremendous community leader and his contributions to Atlanta extend far beyond business and sports,” said Dan Corso, President of the Atlanta Sports Council. “He has managed to positively affect the lives of so many within metro Atlanta and we look forward to celebrating his tremendous accomplishments by awarding him our Lifetime Achievement Award on July 13.” Blank started his journey to become a household name when he co-founded Atlanta-based The Home Depot in 1978. After 23 years, Blank retired from his role with The Home Depot and shortly after solidified himself in the world of professional sports with the purchase of the Atlanta Falcons in 2002. Blank has grown the team to be a $2.1 billion franchise in just 15 years. Blank also brought Major League Soccer to Atlanta with the Atlanta United FC, which kicked off its inaugural season last month. Both in his businesses and personal life, Blank has always stressed the importance of giving back and being part of the Atlanta community. In 2013, Blank established the Westside Neighborhood Prosperity Fund, a $15 million promise to invest in real, positive transformation of Atlanta’s historic Westside neighborhoods surrounding the brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
