Join the ranks of our extraordinary leadership donors

The James W. McLamore Society honors generous donors who make annual cumulative leadership-level contributions of $1,000 or more.

The society is named after James W. McLamore (1926-1996). Best-known as the co-founder of Burger King, McLamore also served as a member of the University’s Board of Trustees for 13 years and chairman for a record 10 years. While on the Board, James raised more than $500 million for the University, transforming the school in many ways.

Gifts to the McLamore Society impact every area of the University of Miami and the University of Miami Health System, and keep his memory alive on campus and in the lives of our students and alumni.

"I am grateful for all the opportunities my education and experiences at the U have provided me. I am honored to give back and support the tremendous advancements that are taking place across the different schools in the University."
- Submitted by: Brian Itzkowitz, B.B.A. '89, Miami Herbert Business School

"Neither of us would have had this opportunity were it not for the scholarship support we received as students. Therefore, it is only fitting that we give back – and encourage others to do so – to assist the talented young people who will be tomorrow’s business leaders and proud alumni of the U."
- Submitted by: Barry F. Brown, B.B.A. ’63 & Sharon Capra Brown, B.B.A. ’66

"The impact of giving back is immeasurable. Whether helping a specific student through a scholarship or supporting the University as a whole, we strive to make a difference. A strong and vibrant University builds the leaders of our future and has a phenomenal impact on communities at a local and global level."
- Submitted by: Humberto L. Lopez, B.B.A. ’81, M.B.A. ’82

"Our family has forged lifelong friends and connections at the U, and one daughter followed in our footsteps and graduated from the U in 2020, so it's only natural for us to feel the need to give back through our time and financial resources."
- Submitted by: Seth Levine, C.P.A., B.B.A. '84, M.P.R.A. '85, M.B.A. '90 & Carolina Torano-Levine, B.B.A. '92
