Dan & Tally Sweat Award Honoring Arthur Blank | Atlanta Downtown Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration

A champion of “doing the right thing” for Downtown Atlanta, Dan Sweat served as a past CAP President, leading the district through challenging seasons for Atlanta’s business and political communities. Renamed in 2020 to also acknowledge the accomplishments of Tally Sweat,
this prestigious award celebrates those who presently emulate Dan’s best traits: iconoclastic leadership, forward-thinking public service, and humility of spirit.
Arthur Blank is co-founder of The Home Depot, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, and PGA Tour Superstores, and head of the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Yet Blank’s influence goes beyond these already large, recognizable organizations; through the AMB Family Foundation, Blank has also made his name synonymous with giving and bettering his community. Among these include significant support for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, establishing the Arthur Blank Family YMCA, and generous donations to the Westside Future Fund and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
