Mullens Chevrolet to provide Checotah Little League with new equipment, monetary contribution and instructional clinics

Mullens Chevrolet is partnering with Checotah Little League with the Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball program to provide new equipment, a monetary donation, invitations to a free instructional clinic 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. Mullens Chevrolet and Chevrolet Youth Baseball & Softball are proud to participate in a sport that brings so many smiles to kids and families in Checotah.” said Joe Johnson, General Sales Manager for Mullens 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.”

2026 marks the twenty- first 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.

Mullens Chevrolet will present an equipment kit that includes useful items such as equipment bags, first aid kits, catcher’s gear and ball buckets. The sponsorship also in cludes youth clinics featuring current and former MLB/MiLB players and coaches, or instructors from MLBPAA.

In addition, Mullens Chevrolet will present a check representing a onetime donation to Sparks T-Ball League. Sponsored leagues across the country will have the chance to earn additional funds to support the league as community members take test drives at their partnering dealership.

“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 Johnson.
