Girls soccer scholarship established at HHS to honor Karla Moffatt

The Harpeth Benevolence Association has created a $500 scholarship in honor of one of its long-time supporters, Karla Moffatt. Graduating seniors on the girls soccer team at HHS are eligible to receive the award for their post-secondary education.

Karla Moffatt is fighting cancer with a spirit and perseverance that should be an inspiration to us all. 

Karla, along with her husband Paul, have been ardent supporters of soccer at Harpeth Middle School and Harpeth High School. Karla and Paul were one of five sets of parents that signed a promissory note guaranteeing loan repayment for construction of Hockenberger Field, which is now home to all Harpeth Soccer teams. 

Karla served as the secretary of South Cheatham Soccer, the group that built and paid for the project. The group relied on Karla’s determination on seeing this project completed and all monies repaid. Karla was relentless in organizing numerous fundraisers, including several pancake breakfasts, to help fund the soccer teams. Karla was also the consummate soccer mom to their daughter Alex, a member of the very first Harpeth Middle School Girls Soccer team.

Alex also played four years on the Harpeth High School team, and is now head coach of the Harpeth Middle School Girls Soccer team. Karla and Paul try to attend every game that Alex coaches. Karla credits her strong faith for her ability to battle cancer and that “God is good!”

The recipient of this scholarship must be a graduating senior at Harpeth High School, a member of the HHS Girls Soccer Team and in good academic standing. The player should possess the positive team spirit and selfless attitude exemplified by Karla Moffatt. $500 will be applied to post-secondary education, including college, community college, trade or vo-tech school.

Harpeth Benevolence Association, a local 501c3 non-profit, is administering the scholarship.  If you would like to contribute to Karla Moffatt Scholarship Fund, please make a check payable to Harpeth Benevolence Association with Karla Moffatt noted on the subject line and mail to 1119 Blackburn Dr., Kingston Springs, TN 37082.  Or Venmo @harpethbenevolence.
