Granger Chevrolet Hits Grand Slam for Area Youth Baseball

BEAUMONT, Texas - July 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Orange, July 23, 2014– Granger Chevrolet, one of five Chevrolet dealers from the Beaumont area that partnered with local youth baseball leagues for the 2014 baseball program, has concluded a successful season with Bridge City Little League. Granger Chevrolet provided Bridge City Little League with new equipment, a monetary contribution and an opportunity for community members to raise funds for the league via a Test Drive fundraiser.

“We’re glad we were able to extend Chevrolet’s commitment to spreading joyful play to the members of our community,” said Ralf Mims, Community Involvement Manager for Granger Chevrolet.

Granger Chevrolet partnered with the Bridge City Little League because of the league’s proximity to the dealership. Equipment donated by Granger Chevrolet included items such as bags, batting tees, catcher’s gear, water bottles and Chevrolet Youth Baseball T-shirts. The sponsorship also included youth clinics featuring current and former MLB/MiLB players and coaches, and instructors from Ripken Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.

“We truly enjoyed being involved with Bridge City Little League this year,” said Mims. “This partnership gave us the opportunity to support the love of the game and we are thrilled to have achieved such positive results for the community."

In 2014, more than 1,600 Chevrolet dealers participated in Chevy Youth Baseball. Since the program began in 2006, Chevrolet has made a positive impact on more than 3.6 million children by bringing a unique experience to their community.
