Bob Poynter Chevrolet Buick GMC recently joined forces with the national Chevrolet Youth Baseball and Softball Program to provide a $1,000 donation for the Seymour youth leagues.

“Playing baseball and softball helps kids develop skills like leadership, cooperation and sportsmanship while bringing families and communities together to show their support,” said Tony Starkey, marketing manager for Bob Poynter Chevrolet Buick GMC in Seymour.

“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,” Starkey said.

This marks the 16th year of Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball and Softball Program, which has benefited more than 8 million players since it launched. In 2020, more than 1,300 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.
