Braden Bailey

Braden Bailey has achieved something truly remarkable—he’s qualified as the number one middle school boy in Oregon for archery, excelling in both the 3D and Bullseye divisions. This accomplishment is the result of years of dedication, as Braden has been practicing and participating in archery since the 3rd grade. His passion for the sport and his commitment to his team and the Siuslaw community have been unwavering, and now he has the chance to represent Oregon on the national stage. To make this dream a reality, Braden needs support with travel costs to the National Competition in Sandy, UT, as well as a hard case for his bow and extra expenses while he’s there. The competition will take place April 23-25, 2026. Competing at this level is not only a reward for his hard work, but also a stepping stone toward his ultimate goal—one day reaching the Olympic stage. Braden’s journey is about more than just competition; it’s about representing his team, his school, and the values he’s learned along the way. We would love any and all support to ensure Braden gets to reap the rewards he has worked so hard for. He’s a great student, teammate, and human! He deserves to live his dream, and with help from family, friends, and our wonderful community, he would be rewarded with the greatest thing of all—being Blessed! Every donation, no matter the size, brings Braden closer to this incredible opportunity. Thank you for believing in him and supporting his journey.
