Diamonds & Dreams

The kids in Granite Bay, California have a world-class place to play baseball, thanks to community member Marie Kennedy and Chevrolet?s Diamonds & Dreams program. Now in its second year, the contest gives baseball fans the opportunity to win prizes for young people in their communities.

Kennedy entered the 2010 contest and won a Ripken Design field makeover for the Lakeside Little League®. Upgrades to the park included a reconstructed pitcher?s mound, new infield skin, recut base paths, new home plate and bases, drainage installation, and new coaches? boxes.

"I was so thrilled because it was for the kids,? Kennedy says. ?Kids? baseball, no matter what the town, depends on donations and help from the community. I?m very happy that I entered the Diamonds & Dreams program and ended up a finalist."

Four other communities also received field makeovers: Pflugerville, Texas, Weymouth, New Jersey, Mebane, North Carolina and Brownsburg, Indiana.

The 2011 Diamonds & Dreams program has been expanded to 100 youth baseball prizes: 20 youth baseball field makeovers, 20 Ripken Baseball clinics and 60 team equipment packages.

Entrants will also be registered to win one of four trips to the 2011 MLB All-Star Game®, and one will also win a new Chevrolet vehicle.

2011 Silverado HD Bests the Competition in Towing

The 2011 Silverado HD underwent testing, resulting in a capbility rating of 21,700 pounds of towing, and 6,635 pounds of payload. 

Rick Spinda, GM Full-size Truck global vehicle line executive, said "Our focus has consistently been on deliverying customers the most capable heavy-duty trucks in the market.  The first set of capability tests confirmed that the team had exceeded the payload and towing targets by a significant margin.  Ongoing testing demonstrated a clear opportunity to increase the true capabilities of these trucks.  Even pulling a combined weight of nearly 15 tons seems easy behind the wheel of a 2011 Silverado HD 3500 with the proven Duramax Diesel. We encourage consumers to test drive the Silverado HD against competitive models.  Based on our test results, we are confident the Silverado HD will prove to be the best cjoice for real-world towing and hauling needs."
