Dr. James Bailey, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Bellin Hospital, made a very generous gift to seniors in East High School's City Stadium Automotive program on February 14, 2025.

Driving a pick-up truck with a trailer attached, Dr. Bailey delivered six 42-inch double bank roller tool cabinets.

Dr. Bailey gave the tool cabinets to seniors in the City Stadium Automotive program. Colton Dean, Lyric Ekberg, Fabian Guzman, Jaime Guzman, Alex Olea and Steven Solis all received a tool cabinet in the color they personally selected.

Dr. Bailey graduated from Westwood High School located in Michigan, where he had participated in their automotive program. He shared that the automotive program was an important experience for him and said he wanted to give back to the community.

"I felt that doing something like this would be really helpful for them and help set them off on a good career path...this is something I knew that if I was in their position, I would be really excited to get and I wanted to do the same thing for them," Dr. Bailey said. 

Senior Alex Olea said that receiving the toolbox helps a lot, especially with future expenses as he begins his career. Alex said he plans to continue at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and currently works for Gandrud Automotive. Alex added that receiving the toolbox inspires him to give back someday when he is in a position to do so.
