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.

The Coupeville High School softball team is using its platform to assist the fight against cancer.

The Wolves — Mother Nature willing — host Orcas Island this Saturday, Apr. 1 in a Northwest 2B/1B League clash.

First pitch is at noon, and the CHS sluggers are dedicating the game to cancer awareness.

The Wolf players will wear different colored socks to represent the different forms of cancer.

The softball squad is also collecting donations and will be raffling off 5-6 gift baskets during the game.

All proceeds go to the WhidbeyHealth Foundation to help support patients fighting cancer.

The Island was alive with the sound of feet hitting pedals.

The annual Tour de Whidbey biking extravaganza went down last weekend, and we’ve got a collection of photos to put you in the thick of things.

The event, which featured six different routes, ranging from a family-friendly 10-mile jaunt to a 162-mile endurance trek, is a fundraiser for the WhidbeyHealth Foundation.

It brought out bicycle enthusiasts of all ages, as well as the Coupeville High School cheerleaders, who provided an emotional boost for riders headed to the finish line.

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.
