Ocean City Chevrolet has developed a partnership with Shallotte Dixie Youth Baseball through the Chevy Youth Baseball program that will include monetary and equipment donations during the 2008 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.

During the course of the season, Ocean City Cherolet will donate team-equipment kits that include equipment bags, baseballs, ball buckets and T-shirts.
