The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) is a nonprofit organization located in Jacksonville, FL. MBF was started by Edward E. Burr in 1997 on the one-year anniversary of the death of Monique Burr, his late wife, to continue her legacy of child protection and child advocacy. The organization has a history of child abuse prevention and advocacy; however prevention education is now our exclusive focus. Although our strategies may have changed over the years, our core mission has remained the same – to protect children by providing the best comprehensive, evidence-based prevention education programs.
The Champions for Child Safety Award recognizes individuals and corporations for their dedication and commitment to supporting MBF’s mission and the annual Pro-Am. Congratulations to our 2025 Champions for Child Safety Award honorees; Jim Furyk, Professional Golfer and Founder of the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, and Mark McCumber, Professional Golfer. Jim Furyk and Mark McCumber were proudly honored in recognition of their continued dedication to supporting the Champions for Child Safety Pro-Am since its inception. From the very beginning, both have stood alongside the Foundation, playing an integral role in the tournament’s success. Their longstanding support, leadership, and passion for protecting children have helped elevate the event year after year, making a lasting impact on the mission of MBF and the countless children we serve.
