George & Donna Burdick Business Award

George Burdick was a co-founder of the Mission City Community Fund. He and his wife, Donna, founded Burdick Painting which grew to be one of the most recognized commercial painting companies in Silicon Valley. George and Donna were involved in and supported MCCF and many service clubs and volunteer organizations over the years. George’s reputation of “get it done now, the right way” was a motto he lived by, while Donna’s behind-the-scenes work and contagious enthusiasm helped drive the various projects they supported forward. The vision and generosity of the Burdick name was a cornerstone in the success of MCCF.

Each year, MCCF honors a local business which has demonstrated the qualities of community service, philanthropy and constructive contributions to a better way of life for Santa Clara and the Silicon Valley community. Candidates for this award must meet one or more of the following criteria to be nominated:

• community service,
• resources provided to the community,
• promotion of community service to their employees and employee participation.

The award is presented to the recipient each year during the MCCF annual fundraiser/event, usually held in November.
