The second Billy’s Will-Power Volleyball Tournament was held at Breakwater Beach in Mattituck Saturday where players bumped, set and spiked their way to raising funds for Will Power Trust.
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, the Billy’s Will-Power Volleyball Tournament proceeds went to the newly formed Will Power Trust, allowing them to help people in the community and elsewhere. The event included food trucks, live music, raffles, a chinese auction and a bake sale in addition to the volleyball tournament.
“Something that we really want to do is give back to the community. Other people may have things going on in their lives that they didn’t expect, where they need support, and we can support them in an emotional and monetary way,” Billy Hickox said. “We also plan to donate to certain research facilities so that we can better understand what has happened and help other people that this may happen to in the future.”
