Local Chevy dealer steps up to bat through youth baseball program In the spirit of community collaboration and teamwork taught through youth sports, Scogin Chevrolet has developed a partnership with Jackson Little League through the Chevy Youth Baseball program that will include both monetary and equipment donations during the 2008 Little League baseball season. Now in its third year, Chevy Youth Baseball is an initiative that establishes a positive relationship between local dealers and the communities they serve. Scogin Chevrolet partnered with the Jackson Little League because of the league's proximity to the dealership. Over the course of the season, Scogin Chevrolet will donate team equipment kits, which include: equipment bags, baseballs, ball buckets and T-shirts. They will also help donate a Chevy Tahoe SUV, which will be raffled off by participating teams, including Jackson Little League. Teams and leagues that participate in the Chevy Tahoe raffle keep 100 percent of the proceeds. The Little League teams will also have unique experiences by participating in baseball clinics and other activities led by the Mobile BayBears' staff. "We are looking forward to a great season with Jackson Little League that will be filled with exciting games and an enhanced experience for the teams through the equipment donations, baseball clinics and other program components," said Ron Scogin, of Scogin Chevrolet. "Chevy Youth Baseball is just one example of how committed our dealership is to supporting the youth and families in the Jackson community." During the 2007 Little League baseball season, more than 70 Chevrolet dealers from the Metro-Atlanta and Tampa, Fla. areas helped generate close to $300,000 in donations from the dealerships and private parties. The dealers also donated $112,000 as a result of the Home Run Derby, a program conducted in conjunction with the Atlanta Braves and the Tampa Bay Rays.
