Jim Butler Chevrolet Goes to Bat for Fenton Athletic Association

Jim Butler Chevrolet to provide Fenton Athletic Association with new equipment, monetary contribution and instructional clinics


Fenton, 03/18/2013 – Jim Butler Chevrolet is partnering with the Fenton Athletic Association in Fenton.  Jim Butler Chevrolet has joined forces with the national Chevrolet Youth Baseball program to provide new equipment, a monetary contribution, invitations to FREE instructional clinics, and an opportunity for community members to enter the Free Chevrolet vehicle sweepstakes.

“Youth baseball provides positive and productive life lessons for young people across America, and the Chevrolet Youth Baseball program is an extension of Chevrolet’s commitment to baseball, community and families.  Jim Butler Chevrolet is bringing that same dedication to youth baseball,” said Brian Leith, the commercial sales manager for Jim Butler Chevrolet.

“There is nothing more American than Chevrolet and baseball and Jim Butler Chevrolet wants to combine America’s favorite brand and favorite pastime together for our families in Fenton to enjoy,” added Leith.

2013 marks Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball program’s eighth year, and since its introduction has helped aid local teams, affecting more than 3 million young people in communities where Chevrolet’s customers live, work and play.  In 2012, about 1,600 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.

Jim Butler Chevrolet will present the Fenton Athletic Association with equipment kits with items including things like equipment bags, baseball buckets, practice hitting nets, umpire ball bags, batting tees and Chevrolet Youth Baseball T-shirts. The sponsorship also includes youth clinics featuring current and former MLB/MiLB players and coaches and instructors from Ripken Baseball.

In addition, Jim Butler Chevrolet will present a check representing a one-time monetary contribution to Fenton Athletic Association.  Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 Free Sweepstakes Entry forms to distribute within the community.  At the end of the entry period, five winners – one from each region – will win their choice between a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu or Chevrolet Traverse. Each participating market will award a secondary prize.

In addition to its commitment to youth baseball, Chevrolet also is the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball™.

“Chevrolet vehicles are designed and built for families, so we hope young people and their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household,” said Leith.
