Ed Bozarth Chevrolet sponsors Cheyenne Little League

Ed Bozarth Chevrolet will be investing support in Las Vegas through a partnership with Cheyenne Little League.

The dealership will provide baseball equipment, instructional clinics, a monetary donation and an opportunity to raise additional funds through a Chevy vehicle giveaway fundraiser. The effort by Ed Bozarth Chevrolet is part of the Chevy Youth Baseball initiative, which takes place through July 2010.

"Chevrolet has a long history with baseball at the national level," Ed Bozarth said. "We wanted to bring that excitement and commitment to youth baseball, in the communities where our customers and their families live. Youth baseball has always played an important role in Las Vegas so we are thrilled to support our kids in a meaningful way."

Ed Bozarth Chevrolet will present the Cheyenne Little League with equipment kits complete with equipment bags, baseball buckets, dry-erase coach's clipboards and Chevy Youth Baseball T-shirts. The sponsorship includes clinics with experienced instructors from former major- and minor-league baseball players and coaches or the Ripken Baseball professional staff.

In addition, a one-time monetary donation will be presented by Ed Bozarth Chevrolet to Cheyenne Little League.

The team will have an opportunity to raise additional funds for its use as part of a Chevy Youth Baseball Fundraiser. Across the country, sponsored leagues will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the leagues will keep 100 percent of proceeds raised. At the end of the fundraiser, five people will win a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Malibu vehicle of choice (as much as $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 on the national level as the official vehicle of Major League Baseball.

"At some point, we hope the kids or their parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household," Bozarth said. "Our vehicles are ideal for transporting families, teams and their gear."

The Chevy Youth Baseball program began in Atlanta in 2006. Now in its fifth season, the grassroots initiative is active in more than 20 states and seeks to establish a positive connection between local dealers and the communities they serve. More than $7 million has been raised by Chevy for community youth baseball leagues.
