2. 2014 marks Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball program’s ninth year, and since its introduction has
helped aid local teams, benefiting more than 3.5 million young people in communities where
Chevrolet’s customers live, work and play. In 2013, more than 1,600 Chevrolet dealers
participated across the country.
Gary Lang Auto Group will present Johnsburg Boys Baseball League with an equipment kit that
includes useful items, such as bags, batting tees, catcher’s gear, water bottles and Chevrolet
Youth Baseball T-shirts. The sponsorship also includes youth clinics featuring current and
former MLB/MiLB players and coaches, and instructors from Ripken Baseball and the Major
League Baseball Players Alumni Association.
In addition, Gary Lang Auto Group will present a check representing a one-time monetary
contribution to Johnsburg Boys Baseball League. Sponsored leagues across the country will
have the chance to earn additional funds as community members take test drives at their
partnering dealership to help support the league.
In addition to its commitment to youth baseball, Chevrolet also is the Official Vehicle of Major
League Baseball™.
“Chevrolet vehicles are designed and built for families, so we hope young people and their
parents will consider a Chevrolet as an official vehicle of their household,” said Allemon.
