About Us
The SUM Foundation was founded in 2022 by chef Anton Dietz. Born in war-torn Germany, chef Anton’s childhood was marked by numerous hardships. It was through the compassion and support of a family member that Anton discovered his purpose in life through cooking.
His experiences as a chef instilled a deep sense of perseverance and self reliance which has fueled Anton’s dedication to serving children. By sharing his expertise in cooking, Anton hopes to teach children life long lessons that go beyond the kitchen.
More than Just Cooking Classes
The SUM Foundation provides more than just cooking classes. We believe that healthy lives start with knowing how to feed yourself and that the same discipline it takes to master a recipe carries into every other part of life. A skill learned in the kitchen becomes confidence at school, at home, and in the world beyond it.
