Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Wheat Ridge, February 14, 2011 – Medved Autoplex is supporting the Wheat Ridge community through a partnership with Arvada Junior Baseball. The dealership will provide baseball equipment, instructional clinics, a monetary donation, and an opportunity to raise an additional $10,000 in funds through a Chevy vehicle giveaway-fundraiser.  The effort by Medved Autoplex is part of the Chevy Youth Baseball initiative being rolled out across the nation from March through July 2011.

“Baseball is a great American past-time and Chevrolet has been a longstanding sponsor on the national level. Medved Autoplex is excited to be able to bring some of that attention and sponsorship to the Arvada and Wheat Ridge communities, where our customers and their families live,” said John Medved, President and CEO for Medved Autoplex. “Chevy Youth Baseball is an excellent program, and we’re excited to get involved and cheer on the Arvada Junior Baseball League!”

Medved Autoplex will present the Arvada Junior Baseball with equipment kits complete with equipment bags, baseball buckets, dugout managers, and Chevy Youth Baseball t-shirts at a season kick-off party in the Chevrolet building on February 17th, 6-8 pm.  The sponsorship also includes clinics with experienced instructors from former MLB/MiLB players and coaches or the Ripken Baseball professional staff.

In addition, a one-time monetary donation check will be presented by Medved Autoplex to Arvada Junior Baseball.  The team also will have an opportunity to raise additional funds for their use as part of a Chevy Youth Baseball Fundraiser.  Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the league will keep 100 percent of proceeds raised.  At the end of the fundraiser, there will be five winners of a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Cruze vehicle of choice (up to $30,000 in value), and in each participating market there will be a secondary prize of a home entertainment center valued at $1,000.

Chevrolet is recognized nationally as the ‘Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball,’ but according to Medved, “we hope the kids or their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household.”

Chevrolet has expanded its support of MLB to the youth baseball players in communities across the country through the Chevy Youth Baseball program. The Chevy Youth Baseball program began in Atlanta in 2006. In 2010, more than 980 Chevrolet dealers participated in Chevy Youth Baseball and helped raise more than $3 million for youth baseball programs across the USA.  Now going into its sixth year, more than $10 million has been contributed to youth baseball in the communities where Chevrolet’s customers live, work, and play. Currently, 1,423 Chevrolet dealers are participating in this national program.

About Medved Autoplex
We consider ourselves a family at Medved Autoplex. The corporation has been locally owned and operated for over 70 years now. What started out as a single point Chevrolet dealership is now a conglomeration of seven different franchises (Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Ford, Lincoln, Buick, and Suzuki) distributed between two easily accessible dealerships. Just off the I-70 and I-25 corridors, anyone located in the Denver Metro area or simply crossing through the state is sure to pass us. Our new inventory includes everything from entry-level cars for people on a budget to burly work trucks or luxury vehicles—and don’t forget about our excellent stock of pre-owned vehicles. At Medved we “sell the best and wholesale the rest” to ensure that every certified pre-owned vehicle we send off the lot is quality, but above all safe.
While the structure and identity of the organization has evolved over the years our commitment to customer service and relation has remained the same. That’s probably why over 70% of our business comes from repeat or referred customers. Many current employees even started out as customers themselves once-upon-a-time. At Medved we know buying a car is a big deal—often times the second biggest investment a person will make. Therefore according to President and CEO, John Medved, “When you come to do business at Medved, it should be like Disney World for adults.”
