Let the good times roll.
Coming off of a hugely successful Crab Feed, the Coupeville Booster Club let the money rain down on Wolf sports programs this week.
Flush with cash from the year’s biggest fundraiser, the club approved six different requests from CHS and CMS sports programs.
“We had a very productive Booster Club meeting,” said board President Wendi Hilborn.
That was a sentiment echoed by everyone in the room.
“This makes us SO happy!!,” said board member Jess Lucero. “In the past, not all teams took advantage of their team improvement money.”
Requests approved Thursday, to the tune of almost $10,000:
A timing system for CMS/CHS cross country – $1,297.66.
Headsets for CMS/CHS football – $2,430.00.
CMS basketball shooting shirts – $694.00.
CHS boys basketball travel bags – $1,319.21.
LED display timing system for CMS/CHS track – $2,110.11
CHS baseball pitching machine – $1,736.00.
Funding Wolf sports programs is an ongoing business, but membership fees (join today!) and fundraisers help the Booster Club keep chugging along.
“The Crab Feed was a success and this always puts the board at ease, as it lets us know we meet our budgeted obligations,” Lucero said.
“We want to thank those who supported the Crab Feed by donating items, services, or volunteering man hours to make it happen,” she added. “We would have virtually nothing to give teams if it wasn’t for the Crab Feed.”
