      Dad would have dedicated this book to his partner of forty-nine years, Nancy Nichol McLamore. For as long as I can remember, Dad never forgot to introduce Nancy during each of his speeches and at special functions. She was his partner in life and made sure he wanted for nothing throughout their marriage. Her dedication to him would have been returned with this book dedicated to her.

      —Sterling Whitman McLamore

      McLamore Family Foundation

      The McLamore Family Foundation was created to continue the vision of James W. McLamore by promoting activities which were important to him including: education, entrepreneurship, leadership, youth activities, and cultural, civic, and community Service Programs. The foundation has donated over four million dollars in Jim McLamore’s name in honor of the work he loved. In 2011, we partnered directly with the Burger King McLamore Foundation to provide three $50,000 WHOPPER scholarships annually for their top candidates.

      All proceeds from this book go to support the McLamore Family Foundation’s charitable activities.

      Burger King McLamore Foundation

      Our story started back with our namesake Burger King cofounder James “Jim” W. McLamore and his belief in the importance of higher education for all. With the inspiration and intention to honor Jim, the Burger King Scholars program was created in 2000. The intention of the program was to advance the education of deserving students in North America and serve as a tribute to Jim, and it has been doing so ever since with the help of the McLamore Family Foundation, Burger King Corporation, its guests, franchisees, system vendors, and supporters who believe in the mission of the program and the foundation.
