“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 matts 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. 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. Matts 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. Mbf was founded to honor our friends legacy as a great student- athlete, loyal friend, and strong leader. The purpose of the mbf is to offer a significant scholarship to a graduating football student-athlete moving on to higher education. The scholarship is awarded at the conclusion of each football season during a.a. Staggs awards night.”

“History of the matt burke foundation the foundation was created in august of 2020 by three lifelong friends of matts. During the first year and due to the social restrictions from the covid-19 pandemic, the foundation primarily raised funds for the scholarship via donations. During the second year we were able to continue our donation campaign and we also hosted our inaugural golf outing held at old oak country club in homer glen. Moving forward we will continue accepting donations and we will once again be hosting a golf outing at old oak country club in homer glen.”
