Shelor Chevrolet is partnering with the Montgomery County Parks and Recreation in Christiansburg. Shelor Chevrolet has joined forces with the national Chevrolet Youth Baseball program to provide new equipment, invitations to free instructional clinics, and an opportunity for community members to earn donations for their league via a Test Drive fundraiser.
“Playing the game of baseball helps kids develop skills like leadership, cooperation, and sportsmanship while bringing families and communities together to show their support. Shelor Chevrolet and Chevrolet Youth Baseball are proud to participate in a sport that brings so many smiles to kids and families in Christiansburg,” said Michelle Carlson, Growing the Future Coordinator for Shelor Chevrolet. “Chevrolet believes that in play, there are possibilities, and supports the spirit of teamwork that baseball instills in its players.”
2018 marks Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball program’s 13th year, and since its introduction has helped aid local teams, benefiting more than 12.4 million young people in communities where Chevrolet’s customers live, work, and play. In 2017, more than 1,500 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.
Shelor Chevrolet will present an equipment kit that includes useful items such as batpacks, scorebooks, industrial-strength batting tees, ball buckets and T-shirts. The sponsorship also includes youth clinics featuring current and former MLB/MiLB players and coaches, or instructors from Ripken Baseball.
In addition, Shelor Chevrolet will present a check representing a one-time monetary contribution to Montgomery County Parks and Recreation. Sponsored leagues across the country will have the chance to earn additional funds as community members take test drives at their partnering dealership to help support the league.
