Three Coupeville High School athletic teams combined to raise more than $1,700 for the fight against cancer.

Numbers released by the WhidbeyHealth Foundation show the Wolf softball program brought in $663 for the MAC Patient Goodwill Fund with its April 1 Strike Out Cancer game.

That money goes towards quality coffee and comfort items for patients receiving treatment in the hospital’s MAC clinic.

Softball’s successful slugfest follows on the heels of fundraisers run by girls’ soccer and volleyball last fall.

The booters and spikers combined to bring in $1,063 for the Foundation Mastectomy Basket Fund, which is used for post-surgery patient gift baskets.

“The foundation is very grateful to the CHS teams and their dedicated parents for supporting our community and healthcare on Whidbey!” said Foundation Assistant Heather Tenore.

Support lil’ sluggers in need

North Whidbey Little League is asking for help after a storage shed full of equipment was destroyed in an arson fire.

The shed, and a port-a-potty, both located at Koetje Park in Oak Harbor, burnt down April 6.

Inside the structure was equipment used to maintain playing fields, as well as equipment for the T-Ball program.

The shed was valued at $5,000-$8,000, with the t-ball supplies coming in at $3,500.

The fire, which is being investigated as an arson by the Oak Harbor Police Department, will delay the start of the t-ball season two weeks.

As North Whidbey Little League scrambles to replace the equipment and shed, a GoFundMe has been set up for those interested in helping.

Step up to help one of Coupeville’s best

Family friends have launched a GoFundMe to help Abby Mulholland and her parents.

The 2022 Coupeville grad, who played volleyball, basketball, and tennis for the Wolves, was seriously injured in a rollover car accident a week ago while at college.

Mulholland, who was a passenger in the back seat, was ejected from the vehicle.

She suffered two neck fractures, a brain bleed, a broken arm, broken pelvis, hip fracture, liver laceration, spleen laceration, deep knee cuts, and a bruised lung.

Initially housed at a hospital in Idaho, Mulholland is expected to be transferred to Spokane for the start of her rehabilitation.

While all signs have been positive, the former Wolf faces a lot of work to get back to 100%, and family friends are asking the community to help her parents, Moose and Renae, during the coming weeks and months.

Abby is part of one of Coupeville’s core sports families.

She is the granddaughter of the late, great Dorothy Keefe on her mom’s side of the family, and whether they go by Keefe or O’Keefe these days, her uncles and cousins can be found all over the school record books.

After playing volleyball and basketball herself, Abby finished her high school career as the #1 singles player for Ken Stange’s Wolf tennis team.

Mulholland rips a return.
