Berkshire Hathaway’s McLane Company, Inc., one of the nation’s largest distributors, announced its 2025 charitable giving highlights, showcasing a year of impactful service and generosity. Together with its teammates, supplier partners and customers, McLane raised more than $1 million to support nonprofit organizations nationwide, including Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Folds of Honor North Texas and the North Texas Food Bank.
“Service has always been at the core of who we are as a company,” said Tony Frankenberger, chief executive officer at McLane. “The generosity of our teammates and partners continues to make an extraordinary difference, strengthening the communities we serve.”
A major contributor to this year’s impact was the McLane Retail Charity Golf Classic, held in April in San Antonio, Texas. The annual event raised more than $830,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, continuing a decades-long commitment to supporting hospitals that provide critical care to children and families.
In September, McLane built on that momentum with the McLane Restaurant Charity Golf Classic in Trophy Club, Texas, benefiting Folds of Honor North Texas and the North Texas Food Bank. Earlier in the year, McLane’s Restaurant team surpassed $1 million in total donations to Folds of Honor North Texas, which provides educational scholarships to families of fallen or disabled service members.
McLane also launched its inaugural Month of Giving in November, uniting distribution centers across the country to support local nonprofits aligned with the company’s key focus areas, including child health and welfare, veterans, education, food security, food waste reduction and disaster relief. Beneficiaries included United Way chapters, Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, Salvation Army, local children’s hospitals and food banks.
Through fundraising events, volunteer efforts and direct contributions, McLane teammates demonstrated a strong commitment to service in 2025. These efforts reflect a long-standing culture of giving that has generated more than $100 million in charitable support over the years.
