It’s too late to save my car. But maybe not too late for yours.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team will be holding a car wash fundraiser this Saturday, May 30, and the Wolf hoops stars pledge to put the sparkle back on your ride.

The event, which runs from 10-2:30 at Whidbey Island Bank on North Main Street, will help raise funds to send CHS to a summer basketball camp.

If you support their cause, you’ll be backing the best, as the Wolves are coming off of a season in which they swept to an Olympic League crown.

Coupeville went 9-0 in league play, winning every game by double figures, with junior Makana Stone claiming league MVP honors.

While the squad will lose six seniors, the program is strong, with the JV having also gone 9-0 against their league foes this past season.

The Wolves are currently seeking pledges and donations for a Serve-A-Thon fundraiser they will be holding May 21.

The event will raise money to send the team to the Western Washington University summer camp.

All the pertinent info is including in the second photo above, so I’m not going to make you read it twice.

To help, go find a spiker, someone like Tiffany Briscoe or McKenzie Bailey or Sydney Autio (I’m pulling names up randomly, not playing favorites…) or contact Coupeville coach Breanne Smedley at (360) 635-2381.

P.S. — I am flat broke right now, so this article is my contribution. Yeah, yeah, yeah, move along, ladies.

Tyler Cermak wants to do pushups for you!!

Tyler Cermak

Tyler Cermak

Tyler Cermak is the quickest in all the land.

When the Coupeville High School football squad does a fundraiser to nab bucks to help players pay for a summer camp at Central Washington University, he may or may not do the most pushups.

But he was the first Wolf to think about hitting me up for an article, so he wins that one-time jackpot.

The “Push-Up-A-Thon”, which runs through May 28 (the actual event does not have a concrete day yet), involves CHS players getting pledges or donations based on how many pushups (proper form) they can do in a four-minute spell.

For example, if you pledge $1 per pushup, and Mr. Cermak rips off 70, you’d owe him $70.

The pledge can be for any amount, or, if you’re worried he’s a pushup machine just waiting to go ballistic on you, a person can also just donate a set amount.

Tyler can be contacted at 17thargrave@coupeville.k12.wa.us or, if you have questions, call Coupeville football coach Brett Smedley at 360-901-2482.

P.S. — You can also pledge or donate to any Wolf football player of your choosing, but I’m only writing one article.

Skip a coffee, help fund the future of Wolf cheer.

Coupeville’s Maddy and Amanda Neitzel have launched a GoFundMe fundraiser in an effort to raise $300 apiece to attend a top-level cheer camp this summer.

Maddy is already an award-winning cheerleader, having earned Most Improved honors after her first season on the football sidelines for CHS this past fall.

To discover more of her tale of becoming a first-time cheerleader, take a look back at a feature story I wrote on her, where she was kind enough to answer my questions and came off as a bright, personable young woman:

Dear AP voters, this is Makana Stone. How could you not vote for her? (John Fisken photos)

Makana Stone will snatch up your donations with the same ferocity she hauls in rebounds. (John Fisken photos)

Your clothes can help fuel the future success of Coupeville High School basketball.

Wolf junior Makana Stone, the reigning MVP of the Olympic League, is raising funds to cover expenses for her select basketball team, and you can help by simply doing a bit of spring cleaning.

Working with a program called Clothes for the Cause, Stone and her teammates are participating in a textile collection drive.

The goal is for each player to have 1,500 pounds of donations (50 bags, with each bag holding 30 pounds) by April 25.

They are accepting clothing (any kind/any condition), shoes (any kind/any condition), towels (bath, kitchen rags), sheets, blankets, quilts/drapery, purses, belts (synthetic/leather), tablecloths, place mats and stuffed animals.

But, it’s a no go on glass, breakables, electronics, pet beds, bed pillows, carpeting, uniforms or hotel linens.

Making your life even easier, Makana and her family will pick up your donations.

If interested (and you better be) call her mom, Eileen, at 320-3756.
