Rowan Little League gets boost

Team Chevrolet is supporting the Salisbury community through a partnership with Rowan Little League.
The dealership will provide baseball equipment, instructional clinics, a monetary donation and an opportunity to raise $10,000 through a Chevy vehicle-giveaway fundraiser.
The effort by Team Chevrolet is part of the Chevy Youth Baseball initiative being rolled out across the nation from March through July 2011.
Kristin Haynes, general sales manager, said the dealership is happy and excited to support the youth baseball program.
Team Chevrolet will present the Rowan Little League with equipment bags, baseball buckets, dugout managers and Chevy Youth Baseball T-shirts. The sponsorship includes clinics with experienced instructors from former MLB/MiLB players and coaches or the Ripken Baseball professional staff.
Team Chevrolet will present a one-time monetary donation to Rowan Little League.
The team also has an opportunity to raise funds through the Chevy Youth Baseball Fundraiser. Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the league will keep 100 percent of proceeds raised. At the end of the fundraiser, five people will win a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Cruze vehicle of their choice (up to $30,000 in value). Each participating market will have a secondary prize of a home entertainment center valued at $1,000.
