Matthew Pavelka Scholarship Awards Ceremony - Wednesday, April 27, 2022
A
A
A
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
in
the
foundation
is
try
and
promote
the
burbank
police
department
within
the
community
and
try
and
bring
the
community
closer
to
the
agency
that
serves
us
and
protects
us,
and
over
the
years
we've
worked
very
hard
in
doing
that.
What's
made
it
very
easy
in
the
last
few
years
is
that
the
department
is
just
helping
us
all
the
way
people
have
accepted
the
burbank
police
department
like
never
before.
A
A
We
have
the
assistant
city
manager,
judy
wilkie
who's,
very
shy.
That's
why
she
wore
orange,
so
she
could
stand
out
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
jess
talamani's,
I
think
nick
schultz
is
here:
councilman
sharon,
springer
councilwoman,
former
mayor
former
police
officer,
bob
frutos.
Thank
you
for
coming
bob
I'd
like
to
recognize
our
board.
If
the
board
of
the
burbank
police
foundation
would
please
stand
up
or
raise
your
hands,
these
are
the
people
that
I
get
to
work
with
each
and
every
day.
A
A
They've
demonstrated
just
unbelievable
academic
excellence.
Their
high
standards
are
embodied
by
the
memory
of
officer
matt
pavelka,
it's
my
distinct
pleasure
in
representing
the
foundation
committee
that
got
to
meet
with
all
of
the
people
that
applied
for
the
scholarship.
I
am
going
to
say
that
everyone
that
applied
was
a
winner.
They
all
were
winners.
The
awardees
here
are
just
a
step
above,
but
they
were
winners.
A
They
began
fire
on
on
our
officers
with
automatic
weapons,
both
campbell
and
pavelka
were
wounded
several
times,
but
in
the
ensuing
exchange
of
gunfire,
the
officers
mortally
wounded,
one
of
the
gunmen,
the
other
suspect
escaped
on
foot.
However,
the
burbank
police
department
in
just
tremendous
harmony
with
a
lot
of
other
law
enforcement
officers,
they
apprehended
the
suspect
on
november
27
2003
during
this
whole
ordeal
at
providence,
st
joseph's
medical
center
matthew,
passed
away.
A
We
should
establish
a
scholarship
in
matthew's
name
when
the
burbank
police
foundation
married
up
with
the
burbank
police
officers
association.
We've
carried
that
on
built
that
fund
and
continued
to
build
that
fund.
So
if
you
have
any
extra
money,
we're
always
collecting
money.
If
you
know
me,
that's
all
I
do
is
ask
for
money.
A
A
A
Today
we
have
proclamations
that
will
be
following
this
from
the
city
of
burbank.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
the
council,
members
and
the
city
manager,
and
also
we
will
be
getting
a
really
fancy
thing
from
county
supervisor.
Barger
they
get
these
really
fancy
design
things
we
can't
afford
it
in
burbank.
Thank
god.
We
don't
spend
that
much.
A
A
So
when
I
announced
your
name,
I'd
appreciate
it
if
you
would
come
up-
and
if
you
don't
mind,
mr
mayor,
if
you
don't
mind
helping
out
here
and
christina,
are
you
here
christina?
Can
you
also
come
up
here
and
help
hand
out
these
awards?
Christina
is
last
year's
president
and
the
outgoing
president
of
the
foundation
time
out.
A
I
actually
ordered
that
flyover,
but
it's
a
little
late,
so
blame
it
on
the
county,
so
I'm
gonna
introduce
each
one
of
you
and
then
I'm
to
read
a
little
snippet
from
what
some
of
the
letters
of
recommendation
said
about
each
student.
So,
as
you
come
up,
please
take
the
award
and
stay
up
here:
spencer,
sobert
from
burbank
high
school
spencer,.
A
The
quote
for
spencer:
is
it's
been
such
a
privilege
to
witness
his
incredible
work
ethic,
his
ability
to
balance
both
academic
excellence
and
community
service
commitments
and
his
showcasing
of
his
awesome.
Creative
expressions
so
committed
to
well-rounded
excellence
to
be
able
to
take
on
an
enormous
workload
and
have
tangible
results
that
demonstrate
in
a
real
active
life
and
when
he
slows
down
he'll,
put
a
little
weight
on,
but
congratulations,
young
man
stay
up
here
stay
up
here.
Okay,.
A
A
A
Dominic's,
econo
or
academic
abilities
are
not
only
outstanding
among
his
peers
but
superior
in
the
history
of
his
school
with
each
passing
year.
Dominic
has
performed
at
a
higher
level
than
the
year
before
it
says
here.
I
would
anticipate
him
to
be
one
of
the
highest
performing
students
in
this
year.
His
senior
year,
and
just
in
case
you
don't
know
his
dad
is
a
captain
and
he
runs
the
household.
A
It
says
here
that
they
were
impressed
with
her
kind
spirit,
intelligence,
sense
of
community
and
desire
to
be
of
service
desire
to
be
of
service.
All
these
people
isabella
demonstrates
the
drive
to
be
successful
through
a
combination
of
hard
work,
dedication
and
time
management.
One
more
time,
please
for
isabella.
A
She
stands
out
as
an
extremely
personable,
creative
and
intelligent
young
lady.
She
embodies
the
compassion
and
the
generosity
that
we
hope
to
see
in
our
students
at
john
burroughs,
high
school
and
being
a
graduate
of
john
burroughs
high
school.
I
will
tell
you
when
we
interviewed
her.
It
made
me
feel
as
though
there's
a
great
future
for
her,
because
standing
next
to
her
is
another
graduate
of
john
bros
high
school.
So
there's
a
great
future
for
you
ahead
and
thank
you
very
much.
Congratulations.
A
A
A
A
My
dream
is
that
people
like
me,
as
I
get
older,
can
turn
to
people
like
this
that
are
younger
and
say
step
up
and
I'm
not
being
facetious
it's
time.
We
need
younger
people,
even
your
parents,
who
are
probably
younger
than
me.
I
know
you
are
because
I
have
grandchildren
step
up.
Take
a
role
in
our
community,
keep
showing
them
great
example,
so
that
they
will
follow
your
lead,
because
leadership
is
a
gift,
give
them
that
gift
from
you.
You've
done
a
great
job.
So
far,
don't
stop.
A
We
need
great
leaders,
we
need
compassionate
leaders,
we
need
understanding
leaders.
So
please
follow
these
people
if
you
can
find
out
where
they
are
through
their
parents
through
the
bpf
we'll
follow
them
we'll
be
watching
them,
we're
waiting
for
them
to
come
back
and
tell
us
how
successful
they
are.
A
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
make
sure
all
of
the
officers
that
are
here
you're
all
heroes,
every
single
one
of
these
officer
leaves
home
every
morning
and
their
families
pray
that
they
come
home
in
november
of
2003,
we
had
an
officer
that
didn't
come
home
so
for
all
of
the
officers
that
are
here.
Thank
you
to
all
of
your
families.
A
To
all
of
you
that
are
here,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming.
That
concludes
this.
However,
when
you're
out
in
the
community-
and
you
see
our
officers,
the
men
and
women
that
serve
us,
thank
them
thank
them
in
front
of
your
children.
Thank
them
in
front
of
your
neighbors,
don't
be
embarrassed,
because
when
you
need
them
in
burbank,
they
are
there.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
for
coming.
We
greatly
appreciate
it
burbank
police
foundation,
thanks
you
all.
Thank
you.
