MOM of the month

Sara Dicaire

This month’s featured mom
is Holy Trinity rugby mom
Sara Dicaire. “She’s been a
huge asset to the team,” says
Falcons’ rugby coach Mike
Smith.
This was a big year for the Holy
Trinity girls’ varsity rugby
team: they toured Ireland in
April, playing a couple of
games. The fact that the team

raised roughly $80,000 in
eighteen months to subsidize the trip was thanks in large part to Sara, but she
refuses to take all of the credit, citing the fact that fellow team mom Kate Dion
was her partner in crime in terms of organizing fundraising events.
“The team fundraised on 17 different weekends,” says Sara, an administrative

assistant at the Cornwall Community Hospital. “We cleaned yards, sold raffle
tickets, held bake sales and yard sales and vendor fairs, but it was worth it to
get the girls to Ireland.” Sara accompanied the team on the trip, helping to
shepherd 30 girls around the Emerald Isle.
Sara’s daughter, Taylor, is a grade 12 student at HT, and Sara loves the fact
that her daughter plays. “Taylor loves the game,” says Sara, “And I love to go
and watch her.”
