Raleigh, April 12, 2023 – Sir Walter Chevrolet is partnering with West Raleigh Baseball League in Raleigh. Sir Walter Chevrolet has joined forces with the national Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball program to provide new equipment , invitations to free instructional clinics and an opportunity for community members to earn donations for their league via a test drive fundraiser.

“Playing baseball and softball helps kids develop skills like leadership, cooperation, and sportsmanship while bringing families and communities together to show their support. Sir Walter Chevrolet and Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball are proud to participate in a sport that brings so many smiles to kids and families in Raleigh.” said Matt Birckhead, Executive Manager for Sir Walter Chevrolet. “Chevrolet believes in the power of play as a way for young people to build the skills needed to be successful in the future and supports the spirit of teamwork that baseball and softball instills in its players.”

2023 marks the eighteenth year of Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball & Softball program and has benefitted over 9 million players since it launched in 2006. Last year, more than 1,200 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.
