About the FoundationThe Jimmy Rane Foundation was created with a simple, yet powerful idea. “It’s about giving something back,” Jimmy says. And that’s exactly what he’s done. Since established in 2000, the Jimmy Rane Foundation has awarded over 170 college scholarships to outstanding and deserving students. This is done with the idea that they will one day return the favor to someone else in need.
Jimmy believes in honest, hard work. And that’s how he lives his life. Living proof of the American Dream, Jimmy has built the company he founded, Great Southern Wood Preserving, Incorporated, into the industry’s largest. He gives credit to his parents and grandparents for his success, who have motivated him by example. Working hard, taking chances and helping others in need was the way they lived.
And Jimmy is proud to continue leading by their example and sharing his family’s story with a book about their lives. Naturally, all proceeds from Mr. Tony’s Lessons of La Famiglia go to the Jimmy Rane Foundation, of which they inspired.
An avid sports fan, Jimmy believes athletic programs are a great way to help build and foster strong character in our youth, and he’s always happy to lend his support. So it’s not surprising that the single biggest fundraising event for the Jimmy Rane Foundation is the annual charity golf tournament. The superstars of football and basketball come together and demonstrate the character, leadership and charity of the Jimmy Rane Foundation. The tournament is an amazing two days that gives hard working kids the financial means to an education they’ve already earned. In addition to college scholarships, the foundation is active throughout the year supporting local communities and education projects with grants and other initiatives.
Work hard. Give back. It’s a really simple idea. And yet, the Jimmy Rane Foundation has proven that it really works.
