The Metropolitan Club’s charitable mission is to give a majority of its profits back to the community. Since 1992, over $1 million has been given to charitable organizations through The Metropolitan Award Dinner and other Club charitable activities. Funds raised from the 2017 Metropolitan Award Dinner will be donated to two local social service agencies that serve community residents in greatest need: Be Concerned, which operates the largest free food pantry in Northern Kentucky; and Life Learning Center, a Covington non-profit organization that delivers a holistic, integrated continuum of learning and care to help our ‘at-risk’ citizens reach their highest potential.
