Scholarship Description
The primary purpose of the Barry Wallace Memorial Foundation is to provide financial support to the Greater Kansas City soccer community by assisting youth premier soccer players who have suffered hardship or adversity and who demonstrate the qualities of life that Barry Wallace possessed. Barry Wallace played professional soccer including his last team, our very own Kansas City Comets. After his playing days, Barry began coaching youth soccer. He was diagnosed with cancer in August 2006 which ultimately took his life just two short months later. Barry spent his life around the game of soccer.
