Marty Muis Promise Scholarship – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hamilton & Burlington

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Hamilton Auto Blog

Last night, Queenston on Centennial’s Marty Muis was honoured by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hamilton & Burlington for his dedication and contributions to their Annual Golf Classics. As a result of the tournaments’ success, the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization was able to redirect funds from the tournaments fundraising to make an investment in their annual Promise Scholarship Program. This program has allowed for ten local youth to be awarded $2000 scholarships.

In tribute to Marty’s long time dedication to the Agency, its value and mission, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hamilton & Burlington named one of this year’s scholarships in his honour. Last evening Marty presented the “Marty Muis Promise Scholarship” to Hassan, a grade 7 student from Hamilton.

Congratulations Hassan on this wonderful achievement and thank you Marty for your long time dedication and support to the Big Brothers Big Sisters Agency!

Isaac Mizrahi’s “Malibu Collection”

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Hamilton Auto Blog

When you hear fashion design and cars, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Most of us might have trouble drawing a connection between the two, but for designer Isaac Mizrahi it was “Inspiration”! Moved by the all-new 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, Mizrahi has created a limited edition clothing and accessory line aptly named “The Malibu Collection”.

Appealing to the modern day woman, Mizrahi and Chevrolet feel that the 2013 Malibu is the perfect fit for “smart, fabulous women”, and that it gives a “new approach to everyday style!” Mizrahi describes the Malibu as a vehicle with a “soft touch, chic and elegant streamlines, similar to those in fashion.” He was also quoted saying “one of the things I was inspired by was a blue light that emanates from the dashboard, it’s just sexy” and that the Camaro inspired “tail lights look like little jewels.”

To promote this unique and advantageous relationship, Chevrolet has created an interactive Facebook page. One of the more interesting features of this page is the Polyvor mini editor styling tool. It allows you, the consumer, to create your own Malibu inspired mood board, which can be shared with your friends. Chevrolet has also created a series containing 50 videos, featuring Mizrahi and his muses, as he ventures across the United States in his new Malibu. Along the way he stops in 4 major cities: New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. Below are two of the videos that have been released thus far.

Many of you may be asking, where are we able to purchase the “Malibu Collection?” Keeping with the social online approach of this campaign, “The Malibu Collection” will be exclusively sold on the Living Social website.

As women, we know that it is often difficult to juggle the action packed lives we lead, so why not do it in style! Visit us at Queenston on Centennial or Queenston on the Mountain and see what the new redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu has to offer you!

The Chevrolet FREE Hockey Helmet Program is Back!

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Hamilton Auto Blog

The Chevrolet Hockey Helmet Program is back in conjunction with Chevrolet’s Safe & Fun Hockey. This program was created in 1999, for today’s youth to adopt proactive attitudes toward safety as well as foster a healthy and positive attitude toward “competition, team work, fair game and grace under pressure” in hockey.

Through an ongoing partnership with Hockey Canada, Chevrolet will give away 1 FREE Bauer youth hockey helmet to children who were born in 2007 and who are registered in a Canadian Minor League Hockey Association. It is important to note, that parents must register their child to receive this offer. Coaches, managers or other team officials may not do so.
What is required?

A printout of the registration form; click here to register!
Your child’s birth certificate/passport or other provincial/federal documentation that states his/her age;
Proof of registration with a Canadian Minor Hockey Association in this current hockey season.

If you meet the above requirements, all you have to do is drop by one of our two dealerships; Queenston on the Mountain or Queenston on Centennial. Present us with the appropriate documents for verification purposes, and we will present you with a voucher to redeem your child’s helmet at your local Forzani store (Sport Chek, Sport Mart, Hockey Experts, Intersport or Sports Experts). In your package, you will also receive information and hockey-related items from Chevrolet Safe and Fun Hockey, Hockey Canada, Forzani and Bauer.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this outstanding program from Chevrolet, please contact us by visiting our webpage at www.queenstonchev.com

Chevrolet FC – Connecting The Globe Through Sport

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Hamilton Auto Blog

From Shanghai to Manchester – Chevrolet is making its mark in a new and relatively unfamiliar territory – Football (or Soccer). No matter what you call it, the sport is a powerful and unifying force. As a brand, “Chevrolet FC” (which stands for Chevrolet Football Club) not only means sponsoring the legendary English football team Manchester United, they have also ventured into creating a better world through sport in their partnership with the One World Futbol Project.

The One World Futbol Project works to bring positive change to the world through the power of sport. They work to donate indestructible footballs to war torn parts of the world, refugee camps, disaster areas and other disadvantaged areas. The balls are designed to withstand the rough environmental conditions in which these children live and play. They can’t be pierced and there is no stitching so the balls cannot fall apart, which standard footballs would tend to do. This is an amazing cause that is working to bring joy to the lives of children through something very simple – sport. Chevrolet is the founding sponsor of the organization and their sponsorship will result in 1.5 million footballs being donated to youth around the world.

The companywide global football initiative being undertaken by Chevrolet also includes sponsorship of the most valuable sports franchise in the world – Manchester United. Manchester United’s Chief Executive and Chairman of the Manchester United Foundation David Gill said, “In Chevrolet we have a partner that has shown a passion and true appreciation of football’s power to effect positive change.” Beginning in the 2014/2015 season, Chevrolet will be the shirt sponsor for United. The global reach of Manchester United as a sports franchise virtually has no bounds. With United’s massive fan base in just about every country in the world, matched with Chevrolet’s involvement in the One World Futbol Project – there’s no telling how much more powerful Chevrolet’s impact will become as a global brand.
