Buckeye Partners Raises $1.7 Million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Buckeye Partners (“Buckeye”) has announced that the inaugural Buckeye Partners Charity Classic for St. Jude, held November 5-6, 2025 in San Antonio, raised $1.7 million to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®: Finding cures. Saving children.® The two-day event marked the beginning of a partnership with St. Jude and brought together more than 200 guests for Wednesday’s evening reception and 130 golfers for Thursday’s golf tournament. The evening’s highlights included an inspiring story from St. Jude patient Rory, who shared her courageous journey with cancer.

In addition to the generous support of sponsors and donors, Buckeye’s own employees embarked on a month-long internal fundraising campaign that raised nearly $100,000. Funds raised will help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their children live.

“At Buckeye, charitable giving isn’t just a responsibility; it’s a core part of who we are. That’s why supporting St. Jude means so much to us. This was an incredible inaugural event working with ALSAC,” said Todd Russo, Chief Executive Officer of Buckeye. “We are deeply grateful to our Presenting Sponsors, Consolidated and F&T Industrial Services, and Hope Sponsors, NGL Supply Co. Ltd, Midstream Engineers and Sylvan, as well as over 67 other companies who generously sponsored and attended our event.”

“We are deeply grateful to Buckeye and everyone who supported the inaugural Buckeye Partners Charity Classic for coming together in such a meaningful way to support the kids of St. Jude,” said Lyles Eddins, Senior Vice President of Relational Advancement for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Events like this show the many powerful ways organizations, employees and communities can give back. Thanks to the generosity of Buckeye’s sponsors, donors and employees, St. Jude can continue advancing research and treatment for children around the world with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.”
