The Cause

Honoring Barry "Macho" Vazquez II

Barry "Macho" Vazquez II was a young man of exceptional character, integrity, and faith. From an early age, he exhibited a relentless drive to excel, earning straight A's throughout his education and always striving to live with a heart after God. As an athlete, Barry’s natural talent for basketball shone through, beginning at the age of three and quickly earning him recognition at local recreation centers and programs like The Boys and Girls Club and The Martin House.

In February 2007, Barry was diagnosed with leukemia at just 12 years old. Despite the overwhelming challenge, Barry and his family faced his battle with unwavering faith and strength, trusting in God's grace. After months of treatment, Barry passed away on September 16, 2007, just shy of his 13th birthday, but his legacy of faith and perseverance continues to inspire all who knew him.

This conference is dedicated to honoring Barry’s memory, his life, and his enduring legacy of faith, excellence, and service. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to a non-profit organization that supports families in need, continuing Barry’s mission of giving back to others. His story encourages us all to live with purpose, strength, and devotion, striving to honor God in every step of our journey.
