2nd Annual Jack Bailey Teddy Bear Run
(Jack Lawrence Bailey 1957 – 2021)
Jack was very instrumental in helping kids in his community.
And he was a huge part of Willamina’s youth football program and a coach for many years. He was also an EMT for Willamina and on the fire and rescue. He worked for 23 years at the FCI in Sheridan, Oregon. After he retired, he started working for Willamette ESD in McMinnville, Oregon, until his passing. He was also very active in the American Legion Post 21 and many other chapters. He had many loves in his life: his motorcycles, the Kansas City Chiefs, his love for adventure, his children and grandchildren, and all his friends and family.It’s time again to help the kids who are less fortunate and need comfort. Last year was a huge success whereas an innumerable amount of new stuffed animals were delivered to the Kid’s Hope Center in the Coos Bay area. Police escort and all. Jack was surely honored through this act by The American Legion Rider program.
Please help out, if you can, again for the run that will take place in LaPine during the Oregon R.O.M.P. (riding on military pride) in June. Many American Legion posts around the state will place collection boxes at their location for you to drop off your donation. The kids will thank you for it.
