You can brighten a child’s life.
Coupeville High School’s Captain’s Panel, a group of Wolf athletes, is working with the middle and high school ASB groups to run a toy drive through Dec. 13.
New, boxed/packaged toys can be dropped off either at the CHS and CMS offices, or at any home basketball games over the next week.
Those games include:
Sat-Dec. 7 — CHS girls/boys, varsity/JV, vs. Orcas Island (3:30)
Wed-Dec. 11 — CMS boys vs. Sultan (3:15)
Thur-Dec. 12 — CHS C-Team boys vs. Squalicum (6:00)
Fri-Dec. 13 — CHS girls/boys, varsity/JV, vs. Concrete (5:15)
The drive is being run in conjunction with the Readiness to Learn Foundation, Toys for Tots, and other community organizations.
The intent is to help provide toys and financial assistance to those in need on Whidbey Island, while helping Wolf athletes demonstrate service to the community.
The Captain’s Panel is comprised of sophomore through senior CHS athletes, who have been selected by their coaches as leaders, people of character, and highly motivated student/athletes.
Prior to the toy drive, these Wolves also ran sports clinics for Coupeville Elementary School students.
The captains have planned, coordinated, and organized the drive, working with both schools to promote and educate other students to the cause.
If you donate a toy, either at the school offices (501 S. Main Street), or at basketball games, you’ll receive a candy cane, plus a warm glow in your chest.
Or, if you can’t be there in person, monetary donations can be sent to:
