In 2015 Ellen Toy, longtime high school and club volleyball coach in Western Pennsylvania, realizing that her six-year battle with gastric cancer was coming to a close, established the We Serve First Foundation to support high school volleyball players by providing them scholarships to participate on club volleyball teams and in volleyball camps.

Tim Toy, Ellen's husband and Executive Director of the We Serve First Foundation explains that the We Serve First Foundation seeks out young athletes with financial burdens, regardless of their age or skill level, and helps them find a love for competition in a team sport.  This helps these young people develop valuable skills necessary to compete not only in sports, but also in life.
