A Legacy of
Giving Back

Our tradition of philanthropy began decades ago, with more than $1.5 million raised for cancer research, 18,000+ pounds of food donated locally, and hundreds of employee volunteer hours. As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, we believe success must be shared. Catania Cares ensures our giving reflects our mission to create lasting impact on our community, employees, and customers.

Leading By Example

“Catania Oils is an ideal partner for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Mass and MetroWest. Not only do they generously fund our programs, but they also take the extra time to embrace our mission of mentoring. They have encouraged their employees to get involved as volunteer mentors and many have. We couldn’t be more grateful for their complete support.”

Rich Terrio

“The impact that the Joseph D. Basile Memorial Golf Tournament has had on Dana-Farber is immense. The money they have raised has provided our doctors and researchers with vital funds needed to both treat the patients of today while researching the cures of tomorrow.”
