Coach Willie Barbera Memorial Scholarship Fund

Donate Now
Family and friends of William "Willie" Barbera felt compelled to establish this permanent endowment to remember an outstanding coach and loyal friend.  Willie died June 26, 2017 at his home in Florida while preparing to travel back to West Virginia.  Having a coaching career that spanned 6 decades, Coach Willie touched many lives especially those of his runners. Coach Barbera successfully led the WWHS Men's Cross Country Team and Track Distant Team, including his grandsons, Andrew and Chris Barbera.  The successes of his life are easily seen through the teams he coached and the family he raised.
 
This scholarship fund is utilizing the ‘building over time’ option and when fully endowed will generate income for annual scholarship awards. Recipients must demonstrate academic success and have actively participated in cross country at Woodrow Wilson High School.

​
Scholarship eligibility information and how to apply  can be found in the scholarship section of our website.
