"Chevrolet has a program called Chevrolet Youth Baseball" encouraging dealers to sponsor local youth baseball leagues," said Chevrolet of Montebello Dealer-Principal Chris Teague. "We began our sponsorship of the MBA in 2011. It's a great program that keeps kids active and off the streets."
"We've been here for opening day for five years now," said Chevrolet of Montebello Internet Manager Kevin Rivas. "It's awesome to see Grant Rea Park filled to the max and see so many of our customers who have their kids in the baseball program."
In addition to the $2,000 monetary donation, Chevrolet of Montebello also donated ball buckets and lids, base sets, batting tees, scorebooks, equipment bags, cleat cleaners and other equipment to the program.
"Along with baseball, Chevrolet of Montebello is proud to sponsor Montebello youth football and cheer, as well as soccer," said Teague. "We love helping out the local community, not just with sports, but with other events benefitting local high schools, the police department and other organizations."
There are over 1,800 Chevrolet dealers involved with the Chevrolet Youth Baseball program, and so far over $13 million has been raised to support the game and its players across the country.
"We had a great time here today," said Teague. "The baseball program keeps getting better and better."
