Bailey, a senior at Shaker High School, was seriously injured earlier this month in a tragic automobile accident.

Bailey is a member of the Shaker High School Varsity Dive team, Flip and Rip Diving , AAU Diving and USA Diving.

Since Bailey is not able to dive right now, all of her friends and team mates in the diving community will be diving for her at this event to raise funds to help Bailey’s family with medical expenses. Teams from around the region will be represented, with even some coaches participating. More than 50 participants are expected to dive, dive, dive to raise money for their friend Bailey. Many more friends and family will be on hand to support this event and the Wind Family.
