Music boosters set November meeting

Posted in Not sports? Tough!, tagged , , , , on October 20, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The battle to support music education in Coupeville continues.

In the wake of the school district cutting its secondary program during the last round of budget discussions, a group of locals has come to together in the hope of launching a booster club.

The plan is to meet the first Wednesday of each month, with a meeting set for Nov. 6 at the Coupeville Library.

First up is a pancake breakfast at Applebee’s May 18, then comes a sports physical night in June.

Both events benefit the hardest-working cheerleaders in the Western hemisphere.

Three Coupeville High School athletic teams combined to raise more than $1,700 for the fight against cancer.

Numbers released by the WhidbeyHealth Foundation show the Wolf softball program brought in $663 for the MAC Patient Goodwill Fund with its April 1 Strike Out Cancer game.

That money goes towards quality coffee and comfort items for patients receiving treatment in the hospital’s MAC clinic.

Softball’s successful slugfest follows on the heels of fundraisers run by girls’ soccer and volleyball last fall.

The booters and spikers combined to bring in $1,063 for the Foundation Mastectomy Basket Fund, which is used for post-surgery patient gift baskets.

“The foundation is very grateful to the CHS teams and their dedicated parents for supporting our community and healthcare on Whidbey!” said Foundation Assistant Heather Tenore.

Mitchell Hall defended his home turf.

The Coupeville High School rising senior ran to victory in the 5K at Saturday’s Race the Reserve, earning one of three top finishes.

Joe Humrickhouse of Clinton and Chris Archer of Bellevue captured the half marathon and 10K titles, respectively.

Race the Reserve, which is the top fundraiser for Coupeville’s senior class, drew more than 200 participants to the prairie, with a huge chunk of runners claiming Coupeville as their home.

For the purposes of this article — since the blog is called Coupeville Sports and not the Boise Blabber or the Truckee Tattler — we’ll focus on just the locals.

Tour de Whidbey rides to success

Posted in Bike sports, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on September 10, 2021| Leave a Comment »

They pedaled right to paydirt.

The 2021 edition of the Tour de Whidbey raised $71,000, which will be used for the purchase of equipment for the WhidbeyHealth Medical Center and Clinics.

The event drew 500+ bicyclists — a 40% increase from previous years — and the money raised was almost double of the total from 2019.

Covid forced the Tour de Whidbey to be cancelled in 2020.

Event organizers offered up a wide range of rides, from a 10-mile family course, which attracted 65 riders, to the 162-mile “power ride.”

The most daunting of all the rides still managed to draw in 42 bicyclists, who “pushed themselves to the max.”

Money raised will be used to purchase equipment such as Halo sanitizing systems, sterilization equipment, personal protective equipment, and AEDs.

Current plans call for the Tour de Whidbey to return in 2022, with August 20 set for the event.
