In 2014, Pollyball had the incredible honor of welcoming the Toledo Troopers to the courts—and if you don’t know who they are, trust us… they are LEGENDS. 🏆

The Troopers are Toledo’s own women’s professional football team, widely recognized as the winningest team in professional football history, with seven championships and a legacy that changed the game for women in sports. Having them join us was a powerful reminder of what strength, teamwork, and perseverance truly look like.

We’ll always be proud to share this chapter in Pollyball history. 💗

Together, we’re not just raising awareness. We’re changing lives.

The Hylant Family Foundation has partnered with YWCA in raising funds to save lives through early detection and give locals support and education for breast cancer for 34 years.
