Brookshire Brothers Awards $123K to Charities

Brookshire Brothers, the Lufkin, Texas-based retailer, presented $123,000 to 13 non-profits and three educational foundations through its Charitable Foundation. Since its inception in 2008, the foundation has conducted twice-yearly golf tournaments to raise more than $1 million in funds that are divided by organizations’ needs and application requests.
