Walter (Wally) John Foreman was passionate about sport from grass roots participation to elite level competition for its ability to contribute to our communities. He spent his life in sports administration and broadcasting seeking to enhance the value of sport for us all.
Wally created many opportunities for talented young people to pursue their sporting dreams that resulted in them not only reaching their sporting potential but also made them better people.
The Wally Foreman Foundation was established to support opportunities Wally would have championed for future generations of athletes to pursue excellence in sport.
As of 2019, the Foundation will annually provide one scholarship to a maximum value of $15,000 for the purpose of pursuing international sporting success.
All athletes pursuing high performance goals will make many sacrifices on their journey. The Foundation is looking to support athletes who have personal financial circumstances that are more challenging than would normally be expected.
