“Ezra faces his challenges with remarkable courage”

Posted in Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on January 24, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Attacking each day with a winning attitude.

The kid is a righteous lil’ dude.

Samantha Wanek, who I used to work with, and Devin Prescott, who attended Coupeville schools like his siblings, are in need of our support.

I would ask Wolf Nation to consider helping out.

Samantha’s nine-year-old son, Ezra, who I met a couple of times when he was younger, is about to undergo open heart surgery.

He was a bright, outgoing kid, who reflected a lot of his mom’s best qualities, and recent photos show his winning personality shining through.

Open heart surgery is a tough journey for anyone, much less a young guy who is still in single digits.

As they go through the surgery, and the recovery period, Samantha, Devin, Ezra, and his siblings will need help with financial matters.

Wolves, ‘Canes unite for cancer fight

Rivals on the court, partners off the floor.

Depending on how fast the snow melts, Coupeville High School basketball is primed to welcome Mount Vernon Christian to town Friday for big Northwest 2B/1B League showdown games.

While the Wolves and Hurricanes will clash on the hardwood, they are uniting to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Those dollar bills will go to the Jimmy V Foundation, which honors late college basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who waged a furious fight with the disease.

The two schools are uniting to wear shirts which reflect the night’s message, as reflected in the photo above.

There will also be a large poster in the CHS gym hallway on which people can write messages of support for those fighting all the forms of cancer.

It was the fourth year the CHS hoops stars have done the event, with the toys being dispersed by the Holiday Help House.

They shoot, you pay, everyone scores.

The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball team is conducting a fundraiser this season based on how many free throws the squad hits in varsity games.

You pledge a certain amount for each successful charity shot, then pay up at the end of the season, once all the numbers are totaled up.

All money raised goes to the Wolf program to help with equipment and supplies.

Fans can reach out to Coupeville coaches or players to get a donation sheet.

Or, if you want to get a jump start on helping out, you can also skip ahead and make a flat donation now by contacting CHS head coach Megan Richter at msmith@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

For more info, keep on scrolling down to the handy-dandy photo below.

Then, sit back and watch as the Wolves chase the kind of free-throw numbers put up by sharpshooters like Steph Curry and Larry Bird.

As seen in the photo above, the club is seeking items such as shoes, water bottles, and tennis rackets.

CHS Athletic Trainer/PE teacher Jessica Hillier is running point on the project and is the go-to person for questions.

With youth basketball and club volleyball seasons set to begin soon, the Wolves are putting a big push on collecting items.

Athletes in need will be able to get gear during a pick-up event at the CHS gym Saturday, Jan. 6 between 8:00 AM and noon.
