West Point Buick GMC Kicks off the Season with the Katy Youth Football

West Point Buick GMC sponsors Katy Youth Football and helps raise thousands of dollars with a vehicle giveaway!

Houston (9/8/2010) – West Point Buick GMC of Houston is partnering with Katy Youth Football to provide the league’s players and coaches with equipment, a monetary donation, and a chance to raise up to $10,000.

In support of Houston’s youth, West Point Buick GMC will provide Katy Youth Football with football kits filled with equipment bags, 5-gallon water coolers, dry erase coaches’ clipboards, and t-shirts.

Offering additional support to the community, Katy Youth Football will have the opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through a fundraising opportunity where one lucky recipient in the South Central Region of the country will win a new 2011 GMC Terrain (MSRP not to exceed $30,140). West Point Buick GMC and other Houston-area Buick-GMC dealerships in the South Central Region are donating the vehicle to the participating leagues. One second prize winner will be selected from the Houston-area to win a home entertainment package consisting of a flat-screen television and Blu-Ray player. (Approximate Retail Value: $1,000 each). One-hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to the participating leagues, and they can use the funds in any way they choose. Some of the leagues have reported they plan to grant scholarships to families who cannot afford to enroll their children in the league, while others have said they will use the funds to improve fields and equipment.

“Buick-GMC and youth football. It’s a great combination,” says Dave Davenport of West Point Buick GMC. “We are proud to be able to help the kids in our community by donating equipment and giving them the opportunity to raise much needed funds for their league. We are excited to be part of the effort this year, and anticipate a fun-filled season of Katy Youth Football football.”
