LB25 Ribbon Cutting and Graduation Ceremony

Leadership Burbank and the Class of 2025 cordially invite you to celebrate the completion of their leadership journey and class project, “Play Without Limits.”

Join LB and LB25 at the Graduation Ceremony of the Class of 2024-2025 and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony where LB25 will unveil a variety of adaptive sports equipment, including fencing and hiking wheelchairs, that will be donated to the City’s new Adaptive Sports Program.

These inspiring events mark the culmination of Leadership Burbank’s nine month leadership program and the class project, “Play Without Limits,” which raised funds and awareness to provide a fleet of adaptive sports equipment to help ensure that residents of all abilities can participate in recreational and competitive activities.

Leadership Burbank invites our alumni, community members, city leaders, and program partners to attend the Graduation Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of the program and class members.

  • At the Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday, May 14th at 5:30pm, the Board of Directors will officially graduate each member of the class in the Fletcher Jones Foundation Auditorium, and host a reception in the Atrium at Woodbury University.
  • At the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, the class members will host this meaningful event beginning at 10am, which will feature brief remarks, an official “cut the ribbon,” and demonstrate the new equipment at the Gym at the McCambridge Recreation Center.

Why did we call on all of our LB family to join us?

Leadership Burbank has been a part of the Burbank community for almost 30 years and our impact – through our class projects – has supported almost every aspect of Burbank, investing over a million dollars in goods, facility improvements, and life-impacting services. Plus, our 600+ alumni are in elected and volunteer leadership positions all throughout the city. We are totally local and totally committed to Burbank. The LB Board adopted a three year strategic plan this year and this event helped us get that much closer to reaching our year one goals.

We totally needed our LB family to help us reach our goals and they DID! Thank you for helping us begin the celebration of our 30th Anniversary Year!

 

Thank you to all of our guests for joining us! Please send us your fav pics by emailing chair@leadershipburbank.org

 

All proceeds benefit Leadership Burbank, a local charity that provides educational and motivational programs for current and emerging leaders in our mission to build a better Burbank.
