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.
