May 31, 2016—H&V Collision Center announced Tuesday that it has joined the Tri-City ValleyCats, the Troy, N.Y.-based minor league baseball team, as a sponsor for 2016.

“The ValleyCats are an excellent organization, providing great baseball, family fun and a launching pad for tomorrow’s baseball stars. H&V Collision Center is excited to support the ValleyCats during the upcoming season,” H&V’s Vartan Jerian Jr. said.

The ValleyCats’ season will start on June 17 at the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium. Part of the sponsorship includes the popular Mayor’s Race, featuring costumed likenesses of mayors from Albany, Schenectady and Troy. 

“H&V takes pride in supporting worthwhile community organizations and events, and know many of our customers are fans of the ValleyCats. This is a great match for us,” Jerian said.
