Have a spare hour?
Wolf Moms are planning to host a car wash at Ebey Academy, with proceeds going to the fundraiser to save Coupeville High School’s Athletic Trainer position.
They have the equipment and the staging area — on SE Terry Road, right across from CHS — now they just need volunteers, adults and kids, willing to give a bit of time to the cause.
Christi Messner has set up a sign-up list, with three possible dates for the car wash.
Possibilities include this Saturday or Sunday, Aug. 12 and 13, or the following Sunday, Aug. 20, depending on which date draws the most interest from volunteers.
The athletic trainer position was a victim of budget cuts, but the school district has agreed to accept donations from the community to fund the invaluable position for the 2023-2024 school year.
Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith, the trainer’s direct supervisor, has confirmed the district would retain Wolf alumnus Jessica Caselden if funding is available.
The cost to fund the position for 23-24 is $8,600, with the ongoing fundraiser nearing $6,000 as of Thursday afternoon.
The primary driving force has been a GoFundMe, which can be found here:
