Burke is not only managing partner of local accounting firm Burke & Schindler, he also does his part to give back to the community.

“Boys Hope Girls Hope is an organization that I truly believe in. Cincinnati’s children deserve the opportunity provided by a stable home and access to higher education.   It’s been my personal goal as Board member and past Board Chair to work tirelessly for the program’s success,” said Burke.  

Boys Hope Girls Hope hosts the Hearts for Hope Gala annually to honor an individual who has shown true commitment to improving the quality of life for Cincinnati children in need. Burke founded the Boys Hope Girls Hope Sponsors Organization in 1995 and acted as Board Chair from 2002 to 2008.
