The arts need your help.

The Coupeville High School Wolf Pac Theater Troupe is gearing up for a busy spring season, with production of a play and a trip to the Washington State Theater Festival.

But to get everything accomplished, Coupeville’s thespians could use a little financial help.

The troupe is running a fundraiser, with the goal of raising $3,000 to cover expenses.

The money would send CHS students to Ellensburg in March for the theater festival, while also covering construction and building costs for a production of Shakespeare in Hollywood.

“Our young actors and actresses, as well as technicians, have been working very hard to produce quality live theatre for our community,” said troupe director Stefanie Ask. “Any and all support is greatly appreciated.”

Written by Ken Ludwig, Shakespeare in Hollywood is set in 1934 and features two of the Bard’s most-famous characters, Oberon and Puck, who suddenly pop onto the set of a movie production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Caught up in the magic of the silver screen, the duo soon find themselves playing the roles they were born to play – themselves.

Donations are tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your gift.

Shots today pay off tomorrow

One after another, the shots went up for a good cause.

Putting a different spin on the fundraiser concept, Coupeville High School girls basketball players raised money for their team recently by lofting free throws.

With 16 players taking part in what has become an annual event for the Wolves, 1,600 free throws sailed through the air after practice, with 856 splashing home.

Senior captain Lindsey Roberts emerged as team champ, hitting 13 in a row at one point as she narrowly edged sophomore Chelsea Prescott 71-68.

Hannah Davidson actually had the longest hot streak for the Wolves, netting 17 consecutive shots, while first-year player Morgan Stevens hit on 11 straight.

Rounding out the top five behind Roberts and Prescott were Ema Smith (61), Izzy Wells (59), and a tie between Davidson and Abby Mulholland with 58 apiece.

The fundraiser had a two-fold purpose.

First, players collected pledges for their free throw shooting, with the proceeds going to fund purchases for the girls hoops program.

And secondly, the contest gave players a chance to refine their shooting touch at the line.

The benefits of that could be seen as recently as Friday, when the Wolf varsity girls pulled out a huge two-point road win at Sultan thanks to laser-like precision at the charity stripe.

Prescott and Wells hit pressure-packed free throws in that contest, while Scout Smith won the game by draining two freebies with just 10 ticks left on the clock.

Charity brought out the duffers.

The 3rd annual Bennett Boyles Memorial Golf Tournament drew a field of 80+ players, while raising $8,000 for The WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

Played at the Whidbey Golf Club, the event, run by the Penn Cove Brewing Company, honored Boyles, a Coupeville Middle School student who passed away in 2017 after an intensive battle with cancer.

The tourney was held in late September, marking what would have been the young basketball star’s 14th birthday.

Money raised goes to support local cancer patients and their families.

With 13 teams vying for the trophy, “He’s With Us,” a foursome comprised of Traci Winn, Laurie Leonetti, Maryanne Kirkland and Marty Winn claimed top honors.

The event was created, and is run, by brothers Marc and Mitch Aparicio, with Lucienne Rivera, Heather Zustiak, Helen Taylor, Shelly Russell, Tami Aparicio and Walton Beverage helping keep things moving forward.
