Pollyball was created after beloved wife, mother and sister Polly Hylant- Tracy lost her
battle with breast cancer in 1990.  The Hylant and Tracy families wanting
to celebrate Polly and her love for backyard volleyball came together to create
the event Pollyball. A volleyball tournament benefiting YWCA of Northwest
Ohio’s Healthy Connections program.

Pollyball
has raised more than $1,500,000 since the inception in 1991 to support early
detection, education and awareness programs for some of the most underserved
communities in Northwest Ohio.
