When you support the Coupeville Booster Club, you support Wolf athletes like these young women. (Caroline Summers photo)

We’re under a month to the year’s biggest shindig, and tickets are going fast.

But they are still available, if you act now.

The event in question is the Coupeville Booster Club’s annual dinner and auction extravaganza, which is set for Saturday, Nov. 8.

All the info you need can be found in this photo:

And why support the Booster Club? Well, as I wrote once or twice before:

The boosters are the backbone of Wolf sports, making life easier for coaches, athletes, and admins.

The group annually awards eight $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors, while also providing a yearly stipend to high school and middle school sports programs.

The boosters also provide roses for Senior Night festivities, varsity letters for Wolf athletes, meal money and goodie bags for road trips, and numerous team improvement items.

These have ranged from literature and DVDs to tarps, weight room equipment, batting cages, upgrades to school athletic fields and facilities, and t-shirts for cancer awareness nights.

Plus, the Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, which documents accomplishments from 100+ years of Coupeville athletics?

It wouldn’t exist without the support of the boosters, who provided the biggest financial contribution to its development, and continue to handle updates.

Khyren Calhoun

Wolf Nation is rallying to support a Coupeville High School football player whose family lost their home Friday in a fire.

Khyren Calhoun is a sophomore lineman for Bennett Richter’s squad.

He and his family will be staying with an aunt for the foreseeable future, and Wolf Moms have launched a Meal Train to offer support.

You can sign up to provide a meal (or several), or by donating grocery money or gift cards to local restaurants.

“We would like to help them get through the coming month with just a little less to worry about,” said organizer Courtney Sollars.

CHS softball players designed snazzy signs for their cancer fundraiser. (Michelle Armstrong photos)

They’re united in the fight.

Coupeville and Forks softball players, coaches, and fans came together Saturday for a doubleheader on the prairie, with the Wolves sweeping two from the visiting Spartans.

But the day was about more than just on-field action, as the CHS diamond program held its annual Strike Out Cancer event.

There was a raffle for gift baskets, emotional words from Wolf players Danica Strong, Madison McMillan, and Mia Farris dedicated to family members touched by the disease, and a free barbecue lunch for everyone.

Some of the gift baskets up for grabs in the raffle.

Each Coupeville player took the field wearing socks which represented a different form of cancer, which they acknowledged during the break between games.

All total, the Wolf and Spartan backers combined to raise $1,603.42 for the fight against cancer, with the money going to WhidbeyHealth.

CHS assistant coach Michelle Armstrong, who was also celebrating her birthday, was a driving force behind the event, but she wanted to take a moment to thank everyone involved.

The event is open to all ability levels.

“This a social, a fundraiser, and a chance to get a little exercise while benefitting a great non-profit organization!” said organizer James Steller.

Lunch (including smashburgers), snacks, and drinks will be available, with proceeds adding to the fundraising.

There will also be a raffle, with a “a three-night stay in a great two-bedroom condo at the Sun Peaks, British Columbia resort during the summer of 2025” being the big prize.
