Don Davis and Colby Burke receive regional community leadership awards (Photo) - 06/02/23

WALLA WALLA - Congratulations to Colby Burke and Don Davis for receiving the 2023 Southeast Washington Association of School Administrators Community Leadership award. Superintendent Dr. Wade Smith nominated Davis and Burke for this prestigious award which was presented to them Wednesday evening in Richland. Both of these outstanding community leaders have been instrumental in supporting Walla Walla High School athletics as officers on the Big Blue Boosters.

Colby serves as secretary of the Big Blue Boosters of Walla Walla. The Big Blue Boosters of Walla Walla fundraises and donates thousands of dollars annually to support Walla Walla High School athletes. Just last year, this included providing basketball shooting machines, apparel, sports equipment, photography and so much more. Davis currently serves as President of the Big Blue Boosters of Walla Walla and has been on the board for 12 years.  

The goal of Big Blue is to improve the athletic experience for Wa-Hi student-athletes and coaches. Both Davis and Burke have played key roles in organizing the Big Blue Boosters annual fundraiser the past several years so student athletes are not required to be responsible for fundraising. Colby also networks Big Blue Boosters through social media, website development and face-to-face conversations.  She volunteers to serve on the district's Outdoor Athletic and Activity Facilities Committee, which is addressing the district's aging and insufficient outdoor athletic facilities.

Don enjoys speaking publicly about the organization on his own time and can be found working at all of the Booster events. He is currently serving as chair of the district’s Outdoor Athletic & Activity Advisory Committee to find solutions to improving athletic and activity facilities throughout the district.  Thanks to these amazing community leaders for helping realize the district’s vision of Developing Washington’s Most-Sought After Graduates.
