LACONIA ― Irwin Chevrolet is partnering with Gilford Cal Ripken League in Laconia with the Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball program to provide new equipment, and a monetary donation.

“Playing baseball and softball helps kids develop skills like leadership, cooperation, and sportsmanship while bringing families and communities together to show their support. Irwin Chevrolet and Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball are proud to participate in a sport that brings so many smiles to kids and families in Laconia,” said Chris Irwin, president of the Irwin Automotive Group. “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.”

This year marks the 21st year of Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball & Softball program and has benefited over 10 million players since it launched in 2006. Last year, nearly 1,100 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.

Irwin Chevrolet will present an equipment kit that includes useful items such as equipment bags, first aid kits, catcher’s gear and ball buckets.

In addition, Irwin Chevrolet will present a check representing a one-time donation to Gilford Cal Ripken League.

“Chevrolet designs and builds its vehicles with busy families in mind, featuring a comprehensive suite of available safety features; technologies that make the journey more comfortable and engaging for the entire family; and the space and flexibility needed to haul people and cargo. We encourage everyone to take a look at what Chevrolet has to offer,” said Irwin.
