Mission of the Matt Burke Foundation
To honor the legacy of Matt Burke with the blessing of his parents, the Matt Burke Foundation was created in August of 2020 by three volunteer board members that grew up with Matt. The mission of the foundation is to carry on the strong legacy that Matt developed throughout his life that was built on faith, family, and friendship.
Based on Matt’s love for the game of football which included many great performances during his playing days at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School, we are committed to rewarding a very significant annual scholarship to a graduating senior football player from Stagg H.S. that has plans to attend college.
Thanks to the help of many donors, we are in the heart of an ongoing fundraising campaign that will help us shape future leaders by rewarding them with a significant financial boost for college.
As you know, Matt was a special man that positively impacted all of those that were blessed to know him. He was raised by wonderful parents and was fortunate to have a loving, loyal, and caring family. Matt was also blessed to be the father to Olivia and Jack. The love he showered them with as well as the lessons he taught them with the help of their mother, Allison, will last a lifetime. Matt’s friendships that he created with many from a young age were filled with many memorable moments. Even though our time with Matt was cut short, it was an honor to have met him and thanks to the help of great people like you, his memory will be eternal.
