Help Us to Help Others

We want your help to raise awareness about the Carl McCain Memorial Foundation and to refer aid cases for review.
The Foundation does not want to miss an opportunity to provide financial assistance for qualified individuals.
The Foundation relies heavily on “word of mouth,” so spread the word to those around you, including individuals at other companies in our industry.
You can help us by telling your colleagues in the office, field, and operations about the Foundation.

History

Formed in 1979 in honor of Carl McCain, a retired lease crude oil buyer who gave up his own cancer treatment to channel resources to care for his medically challenged granddaughter.
On learning of Carl’s sacrifice, industry friends started a foundation to support his granddaughter and individuals in the industry facing similar challenges.

In order to qualify for financial assistance, applicants must meet employment and financial criteria as established by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Financial grants pay for a broad range of health-related expenses that would otherwise be beyond the financial capability of the applicant.
