JOE VAN HORN CHEVROLET Offers Plymouth a “Dream” Chance at a Baseball Field Makeover
Plymouth, WI – Joe Van Horn Chevrolet announced
today its continued support of Plymouth, youth baseball and baseball
fans through the Chevrolet “Diamonds & Dreams” program. Joe Van Horn Chevrolet encourages residents to register online at
www.chevybaseball.com for a chance to win one of 12 field makeovers and
the grand prize of an all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco.*
Participants can enter through www.chevybaseball.com
for a chance to win a refurbished baseball field for their community or
another community they feel is deserving. One winner will be chosen
each week for up to 12 weeks through July 22.
“Every young person wants and deserves a ‘dream’
baseball diamond, and we offer them a chance to get one,” said Teresa
Van Horn, owner for Joe Van Horn Chevrolet.
In its third year, “Diamonds & Dreams” has already awarded 25 youth field makeovers across the country. “From the backyards to the big leagues, Chevrolet is
committed to community and youth baseball and giving back to where our
customers live, work and play,” said Phil Caruso, Chevrolet National
Promotions Manager.
Renovations of the 12 field makeovers will be administered through
Ripken Design, a division of Ripken Baseball, the company owned and
operated by National Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr., and 12-year
Major League Baseball® veteran Bill Ripken. “I have been working with
Chevy for about two decades and it is a relationship that I value a
great deal, said Cal Ripken. “Together we are positively impacting kids
through baseball at the grassroots level and giving them safe places to
play. It is a very gratifying part of what we do, and I appreciate
Chevrolet making us a part of this terrific effort.”
The Official Lawn Care Company of Major League
Baseball®, Scotts®, will continue to partner with Chevrolet and lend its
support on multiple field refurbishments. Scotts believes that it is
important to offer youth a safe, reliable field and playing area. In
addition to helping reduce injuries, a strong foundation of thick and
lush grass helps to create a beautiful outdoor environment that
encourages children to spend time outdoors.
As the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball®,
Chevrolet has also expanded its support of MLB® to youth baseball
players in communities across the country through the Chevrolet Youth
Baseball (CYB) program. In its seventh year, CYB has helped raise more
than $13 million to aid local teams, affecting more than 2.7 million
young people in communities across the country. This year, about 1,600
Chevrolet dealers are participating.
