Your dollar bills, plus their sterling work ethic, can equal cheer nirvana.
Having found out late in the game that they qualified for nationals, the Coupeville High School cheer squad is in scramble mode right now.
The Wolves, in just their second year back on the competition cheer mats, are hitting big heights under second-year coach BreAnna Boon.
CHS, which fielded only a sideline cheer squad between 2012-2017, claimed 3rd place at the 1A state meet in 2018, giving the program its fourth top-four finish at the big dance.
Wolf cheer won a state title in 2006, then finished 2nd in 2007, and 4th in 2011, all under legendary coach Sylvia Arnold.
Now, Coupeville has an invite to Florida, having qualified for the National High School Cheerleading Championship.
That event runs Feb. 7-9, 2020 at the Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, and is televised on ESPN2 and ESPNU.
The Wolves could be seen in 32 countries and 100 million homes.
But, they need some help getting from Cow Town to Trophy Town.
Or, more specifically, they need to raise $8,000 to cover expenses for the trip, and are looking for sponsorship help from Wolf fans.
Individuals or businesses, cheer addicts or people who have no clue what a back spot, bow and arrow, or straight cradle might be – doesn’t matter.
If you’re loyal to the red and black, and want to see 12 extremely hard-working Wolf athletes and their coaches rewarded for their efforts, now is the time.
You’d be helping Ashleigh Battaglia, Ella Bueler, Karyme Castro, Coral Caveness, Emily Fiedler, Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Dawson Houston, Marenna Rebischke-Smith, Mica Shipley, Gavin St Onge, Bella Velasco, and Melia Welling, as well as CHS coaches Boon and Sarah Reinstra.
To donate, you can swing by Peoples Bank (107 S. Main) or contact Boon at Chscheer@outlook.com.
CHS cheer has a 501(c)(3) number, so any and all donations can be used as a tax write-off, with receipt provided.
Whether you’re Bill Gates or merely someone willing to shake out the couch cushions, everything helps.
“No donation is too big or too small,” Boon said, with her customary … cheery … outlook.
