Henry Repeating Arms has launched a limited run of 50 "Team Baylee" lever-action rifles to raise money for the family of Baylee Rish, a 10-year-old from Wewahitchka, Florida. Details are in Henry Repeating Arms's press release.
What Was Announced
Henry is offering 50 special-edition rifles based on its Golden Boy Silver .22 S/L/LR. The rifles are sold through Henry's website while supplies last, and all proceeds go to the Rish family. The effort is part of Henry's "Guns For Great Causes" program, which focuses mainly on pediatric cancer cases.
Baylee was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in December 2022. Her treatment runs through March 2025 and includes multi-day chemotherapy stretches and spinal procedures. The family makes a 2.5-hour drive each way for care.

What It Means for Gun Owners
Buyers of the Team Baylee rifle are paying for a standard-production rifle with custom artwork, and the money goes to a family covering insurance copays and travel costs. Anyone who wants one will need an FFL for transfer, and collectors interested in the numbered first and last rifles should bid before the August 7 deadline.
Bottom Line
Henry is using its Golden Boy Silver and a limited edition to direct more than $40,000 toward one family's cancer treatment costs. The sale runs only while supplies last.
