Lavery Automotive, one of 28 Chevrolet dealers from the Cleveland area that partnered with local youth soccer leagues for the 2011 season, raised nearly $87, 800 in total donations from the dealership and private parties. In addition to monetary support, Lavery Automotive provided Louisville Soccer Club with equipment donations, an opportunity to raise and keep up to $10,000 through a unique fundraiser, and participation in an instructional soccer clinic.
“Chevrolet has a history with youth sports and we’re glad we were able to bring that commitment to our youth soccer leagues in Louisville where some of our customers and their families live, work, and play,” said Lindsay Lavery, eCommerce for Lavery Automotive. “ We just celebrated 45 years in business and enjoy supporting our youth with various sports teams. I'm certainly thankful for the relationship that we have with the staff over at the LSC, they are awesome people to work with each season so far!"
Louisville Soccer Club had the opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through a fundraising opportunity. One lucky winner in each region won his or her choice of a 2012 Chevy Cruze or Equinox. Another lucky winner in the Cleveland-area received a home entertainment package. One-hundred percent of the proceeds of the fundraiser went directly to the league. In 2011, more than 700 Chevrolet dealers participated in Chevy Youth Soccer across the USA.
“We were delighted to partner up with them again this year,” said Lindsay of Lavery Automotive. “Sponsoring Louisville Soccer Club gave us the opportunity to illustrate our commitment to the youth and families in Stark County." The Louisville Soccer Club offers community, and competitive level play for boys and girls, ages 4 - 14 (8th grade). They welcome players from Louisville and surrounding areas, including (but not limited to) Louisville, Alliance, Malvern, Minerva, Canton, and Waynesburg. As well as offer community level play on our home fields located at Metzger Park in Louisville, Ohio. In addition there are travel teams for more competitive players, and also assemble indoor teams for fun throughout the winter months.
