Deien Chevrolet in Trenton is proud to be able to support the area communities through a partnership with the Aviston and Trenton Youth Baseball Leagues. The dealership will provide baseball equipment, a monetary donation, and an opportunity to raise additional funds through a Chevy vehicle giveaway-fundraiser. The effort by Deien Chevrolet is part of the Chevy Youth Baseball initiative being rolled out across the nation. “Baseball is a great American pastime, and Chevrolet is proud to have a longstanding history with this tradition on a national level. Deien Chevrolet is bringing that level of commitment for youth baseball to the Aviston and Trenton communities, where our customers and their families live,” said Nathan Deien, general manager for Deien Chevrolet. “Our local youth ball programs are truly cherished, and we are happy and excited to support the kids in a significant way.” The leagues will have an opportunity to raise additional funds for their use as part of a Chevy Youth Baseball Fundraiser. Each league received 1,000 fundraiser entry tickets, and the leagues 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. In addition, there will be two local winners from the Aviston and Trenton leagues who will each win a $50 gas card, donated by Deien Chevrolet. The ticket also entitles the bearer to discounted automobile service at Deien Chevrolet. The tickets are available through all youth league and select team players in Trenton and Aviston for $3 each or two tickets for $5. Deien Chevrolet also presented the league managers with equipment kits complete with equipment bags, baseball buckets, dugout managers, and Chevy Youth Baseball t-shirts. A one-time monetary donation check will also be presented by Deien Chevrolet to the Aviston and Trenton Youth Leagues. Chevrolet is recognized on the national level as the “Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball.” “Chevrolet vehicles are made for families and we hope the kids or their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household,” said Deien. 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.
