Honda Helps Little League Stay Alive on Staten Island After Hurricane Sandy

Honda provides much needed support for youth baseball and softball programs.
 
MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. - April 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Summer in New England means baseball and softball, and Middletown Honda, a Middletown, New York car dealer (http://www.middletownhonda.com/honda-dealer-middletown), is pleased to announce Honda North America continues to show its support as the official vehicle sponsor of Little League. A $50,000 donation by Honda has gone to rebuilding baseball facilities on Staten Island, including fields, dugouts, and bleachers, damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Thanks to the support, Staten Island Little League was able to hold their 32-team opener on April 20th.

"For 17 years Honda has enjoyed a relationship with Little League Baseball and Softball. We're proud to play a part in getting Staten Island Little League up and running to make it possible for kids to play ball this year," said Susie Rossick, the senior manager of Honda Regional Marketing. "Though much still needs to be done, they are off to a good start, and we look forward to helping them with opening day and beyond."

Honda presented the Staten Island Little League with a ceremonial check on opening day, as well as kicking off several fund raisers to help cover other facility repair costs, including damaged scoreboards, field lighting, and funds for general costs through the season.

These fund raisers included goof stunts, such as a "Sing Badly for a Good Cause: Car-e-oke, where parents were encouraged to sing their “best” rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” inside a Honda Odyssey Minivan. For each parent that participated, Honda donated an extra $50 to the Staten Island Little League. Musical chairs in an Odyssey and a charades competition were a part of other events where participants could help to raise money for Little League.

Honda has made a continual effort to help communities rebuild after Hurricane Sandy. Last November, Honda pledged $500,000 to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts. This donation was made up of both cash and other Honda products, such as generators and water pumps, to help with rebuilding projects.
Middletown Honda is located at 520 Route 211 in Middletown and is pleased to be a part of Honda North America's continuing support of community projects. Drivers interested in learning more about any of the vehicles or services that Honda has to offer should contact the dealership (http://www.middletownhonda.com/contact-middletown-car-dea...) through their website or by calling (855) 473-3050.
