Empowering youth through service.
The PlayForBurk Foundation carries on the legacy of Burkley Hansen — a 13-year-old whose final words were, “Focus on other people. Service.”

Burkley McKay Hansen was a 13-year-old with a mind filled with service and a natural gift for caring about others. A Madison Middle School student active in his church and Boy Scout troop, Burk loved athletics — especially basketball.
His life was tragically cut short in an accident in April 2015. The last entry in his journal read: “Focus on other people. Service.” Those words became the mission we carry into the world.
