LAKEPORT, Calif. – The fourth annual Cardinal Sports Night, held this past Saturday at the Lake County Fairgrounds, once again broke fundraising records.
Sponsored by the Clear Lake High School Sports Foundation, more than $30,000 was raised during the evening's activities.
This very unique fundraiser gives the various athletic teams at Clear Lake High School to raise money for their respective programs through silent auction items, the basket raffle and the sale of “Coaches Competition” leis.
This year, the teams succeeded in raising more than $16,000 in the competition, which will be deposited directly to their accounts this week by the CLHS Sports Foundation.
“This is an amazing event not only to raise much-needed funds for our school’s athletic teams, but also the spirit and the energy in the room as all of the student-athletes clad in their various uniforms interacted with the members of the community was electric,” said Foundation President Derek Butcher. “The school spirit was overflowing!”
The annual Coaches Competition was, once again, the high point of the night.
This crazy, crowd-loving competition incorporates a scavenger hunt with musical chairs where each team sport coach can only grab those items from one of their lei wearing “team members” before rushing back to sit it in one of the remaining chairs.
This year’s competition was spirited to say the least and, for the second year in a row, it came down to boys basketball and golf.
Golf prevailed as the returning champion and took home the coveted perpetual plaque due to a penalty on basketball called by the referees and took home the coveted perpetual plaque.
The Sports Foundation thanked the community for its continued support, with special thanks to Lakeport Rotary, DJ Jeff Cerini, auctioneer Tim Wynacht, Lake Event Design, Cache Creek Vineyards, the Lakeport Fire Department and sponsors De Leon Engineering, Shore Line Realty, The Ice Water Co. and Dr Keith Long DDS.
