Raceway Chevrolet Goes to Bat for Laverne Ard Park

Raceway Chevrolet sponsors Laverne Ard Park with equipment, clinics and helps raise thousands of dollars with a Chevrolet giveaway

Pamplico (April 29, 2009) – Giving something back to the community, Raceway Chevrolet announced today that they are partnering with Laverne Ard Park to provide the league’s players and coaches with equipment, instructional clinics and a chance to raise $10,000 in funds for the 2009 season. The program demonstrates Chevrolet and their dealerships as America’s brand bringing together American’s pastime and America’s favorite car company.

In support of the community’s youth baseball program, Raceway Chevrolet will provide the league with kits filled with equipment bags, ball buckets, coaches’ clipboards and t-shirts.

Offering additional support to the community, Laverne Ard Park will have the opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through the Chevy-Vehicle Raffle where a new Chevy Malibu and Chevy Traverse, along with autographed Cal Ripken Jr. memorabilia, will be given away. Raceway Chevrolet and other area Chevrolet dealerships are donating the two cars being raffled off. All proceeds from the raffle go to participating leagues and communities.

“Chevy and Baseball. It’s a great combination of America’s brand and America’s game,” says John Isgett of Raceway Chevrolet. “What better way to help our kids than with donating equipment, instruction and memorabilia from Cal Ripken. We are excited to be part of the effort this year and to support the youth and families in our community. We definitely anticipate a fun-filled season at Laverne Ard Park.

2008 marked a great year for Chevrolet and local communities. Last year in the Southeast alone, 437 Chevrolet dealerships helped out more than 477 local communities and their baseball programs by raising over $3.5 million.
