Top Philanthropic Donors: James and Cathy Justice

James C. Justice II and his wife Cathy Justice have donated $35 million dollars to two charities.

Mr. Justice is the founder of the James C. Justice Companies, in Lake City, S.C., which own resorts and coal-mining operations.

Mr. Justice, and his wife, Cathy, pledged $25 million to the Boy Scouts of America to create the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve, a 10,600 acre park in West Virginia. The organization did not disclose a payment schedule.

Mr. Justice also pledged $10 million over 10 years to Cleveland Clinic Innovations, the entrepreneurial arm of the Cleveland Clinic. The donation will be evenly split to establish a chair in medical innovation and to carry out programs to foster creative thought and idea exchange in medical innovation.

James c. Justice, II was born April 27, 1951 to James Conley Justice and Edna Ruth Perry Justice. He attended Raleigh County Schools, graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1969, attended Greenbrier Military Academy as a post graduate, University of Tennessee and received his BS and MBA Degrees from Marshall University in Huntington, WV.

Jim married his wife Cathy in 1976 in Beckley. Cathy is the daughter of Leigh and Ruth Comer and is a graduate of Marshall University with BA Degree in Secondary Education.

In a written statement announcing the Cleveland Clinic gift, Mr. Justice said, “Just like a farmer invests in the land so the crops will grow, we are investing in innovations which will lead to health-care initiatives that will benefit thousands, possibly millions, of people. Cleveland Clinic is the leader in this field and unparalleled in their dedication to solving problems, saving lives, and creating economic opportunity. The potential here is beyond imagination.”
