James W. McLamore, BURGER KING Co-Founder

BURGER KING co-founder James W. McLamore believed in community service and philanthropy, and had a vision to build brighter futures by promoting education in our communities. This philosophy and vision inspired the creation of the BURGER KING Scholars Program more than a decade ago, and allowed for the merger of the BURGER KING McLamore Foundation and the HAVE IT YOUR WAY Foundation in 2005. The merger allowed Mr. McLamore's vision to come to fruition by enabling the BURGER KING system to make a greater impact in the communities it serves.

In support of the various scholarship opportunities provided through the HAVE IT YOUR WAY Foundation, the McLamore Family Foundation established a category within the BURGER KING Scholars Program called the James W. McLamore WHOPPER This scholarship awards recipients $50,000 each for the fulfillment of their education and professional goals, keeping Mr. McLamore’s vision alive. We thank the McLamore Family and the McLamore Family Foundation for their continued support.
