Community comes together to support Bailey family
September 11, 2019

Small towns have a reputation for taking care of their own. In times of tragedy, many communities will crowd around a single individual or family to insulate them from the horrible curve balls thrown their way. The town of Cassville is no exception.
In this spirit, two events have been planned to benefit the family of Tonya Bailey, a former Eagle Rock resident and Freedom Bank employee. Bailey was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer at the beginning of this year, and passed away earlier this month. Bailey is survived by her husband, John, and her two children. The first of these events event to benefit the Bailey family will be on Saturday, September 14. Barry County Law Enforcement, EMS and Fire and Rescue will host a team softball game, with all proceeds going to help the Bailey family.
Law Enforcement, EMS and Fire will all have their own teams and will play against themselves and others in a double-elimination tournament. Citizens of Barry County are also welcome to assemble their own teams of at least 11 players and enter the tournament as well. Entry to the tournament costs $5 per player.
Food will be served during the tournament. For $2 a plate, attendees will be treated to hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and a soft drink.
This event will also include a silent auction with items donated by the community up for grabs. Auction items include: a massage, purses and jewelry, an item donation by Lowe’s Construction of Monett, a log-cabin bird feeder among others.
The game will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, at the baseball fields located by the Cassville Aquatic Center. To get involved or inquire about the game, contact Randy Kalbaugh at (417) 342-5618.
The second of these events is to be hosted by the 1995 graduating class of Cassville High in conjunction with the Bailey family. On Saturday, September 21, the group will host a donation breakfast. The event will be hosted at the Family Life Center in Cassville, located on West 5th Street, behind Sunrise Family Diner.
The menu for the breakfast will be biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee. Breakfast will be available for the cost of a donation to assist the Bailey family.
Breakfast will be served at the event from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
To get involved in the Breakfast event contact Charli Jo Baugh through email at [email protected] with the subject line “Cassville Cares 2019” or by calling or texting 417-846-6917.
