After overwhelming success and support of the first event held last summer, Billy Hickox and his family decided to hold the fundraiser again. This time, though, some of the Billy’s Will-Power Volleyball Tournament proceeds will go towards helping Mr. Hickox be more independent, with the remainder going towards the Will Power Trust.
The event included food trucks, live music, raffles, a chinese auction and a bake sale in addition to the volleyball tournament. The same core group of avid supporters from last year returned to assist with this year’s fundraiser.
“I want to give a special thank you to Mike and Kathy Ryan and Janine and Peter Warren. They are what keeps us going with these fundraisers. Obviously, they are Herculean effort, and they just are non-stop energy to get us the finish line,” said Deb Hickox. She also said the group plans to put on another volleyball tournament next year.
Ms. Hickox was overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of support. “People have reached out in so many ways. I can’t even tell you. It’s like he’s the community’s son.”
