Nesmith Chevrolet executive manager Mike Reed of Hinesville presented $500 donations May 20 to each of the youth baseball programs on Fort Stewart and the Liberty County Recreation Department. This is the second year the dealership has participated in the Chevy Youth Baseball Initiative, a national program that runs every March through July.
“We were pleased to help out the kids and coaches again this year. We have some fantastic kids in our community and it’s a great thing to keep giving back,” Reed said.
In addition to the donation, NeSmith Chevrolet provides players and coaches with baseball equipment, instructional clinics and the opportunity to raise an additional $10,000 through a Chevy vehicle giveaway fundraiser. Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for suggested donations. The leagues keep 100 percent of the proceeds. At the end of the fundraiser, five people will win a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Malibu, and in each participating market a home entertainment center will be awarded as a secondary prize.
“At some point, we hope the kids or their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household,” Reed said. “These vehicles are safe, dependable, and ideal for transporting families, teams and their gear.”
Chevrolet has expanded its support of MLB to the youth baseball players in communities across the country through the Chevy Youth Baseball Program, which began in Atlanta in 2006. Now in its fifth season, the initiative is in more than 20 states. The program has raised more than $7 million for community youth baseball leagues.
