"Good Neighbors Since 1915" is much more than a marketing slogan at Diver Chevrolet; it's one of our foundational principles. Because at Diver Chevrolet, we believe in community. The Diver family's commitment to hands-on daily involvement in the running of our dealership extends to supporting the organizations of our customers, who for three generations have supported us.
Giving back to the community comes easy to us. One of the first lessons I learned as a new employee was that at Diver Chevrolet, "we do business with people who do business with us." As business leaders, we gladly give our time and financial support to local non-profit organizations that assist those in need in Delaware and the surrounding states. We also believe that being a visible presence at community events such as the Wilmington Grand Prix, Kennett Mushroom Festival, and Share the Night Tree Lighting at the Ronald McDonald House can be a deciding factor when potential customers are deciding to purchase or service a vehicle. There is no question that this philosophy of giving back to the community is one of the key factors in our incredibly loyal customer base and 96 years of success.

Wilmington Little League
Wilmington Little League (WLL) is very grateful for your equipment and financial sponsorship. Your commitment to the youth of Wilmington, that is majority minority, speaks volumes to giving back to the community. To make baseball more affordable for our families, WLL keeps registration fees lower than the surrounding leagues. The Diver Chevrolet sponsorship helps offset these lower fees. We want every child that wishes to play baseball to be able to, regardless of ability to pay.
We do more than just teach the game of baseball. Let me end with our primary objective:
"..to implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority, so that they may be well adjusted, stronger and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy and trustworthy citizens."
Thank you for your continued support of WLL.

Proud to support AGAIN for the 2021-2022 season!

Wilmington, Apr. 9, 2019 – Diver Chevrolet is partnering with Piedmont Baseball & Softball in Wilmington. Diver Chevrolet has joined forces with the national Chevrolet Youth Baseball program to provide new equipment and invitations to FREE instructional clinics.
“Playing the game of baseball helps kids develop skills like leadership, cooperation, and sportsmanship while bringing families and communities together to show their support. Diver Chevrolet and Chevrolet Youth Baseball are proud to participate in a sport that brings so many smiles to kids and families in Wilmington.” said Rich Diver, President/Dealer-Operator for Diver 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 instills in its players.”
2019 marks the fourteenth year of Chevrolet’s Youth Baseball program and has benefitted over 7 million players since it launched. In 2018, more than 1,100 Chevrolet dealers participated across the country.

“Chevrolet vehicles are designed and built 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 would encourage everyone to come take a look at what Chevrolet has to offer,” said Diver.
