A Legacy of Celebration & Impact

New York City Gala - November 18, 2024

Our third annual All-Star Evening took place at Cipriani Wall Street, bringing together nearly 500 guests for a night of celebration and impact. Aaron Judge, his family, current and former Yankees, and special supporters gathered for VIP and general receptions, a silent auction, dinner, live entertainment from Bas, and a spirited live auction led by Aaron.

Funds raised from the evening will directly support ALL RISE Foundation programs—empowering youth through leadership development, mini-grants, and community partnerships in the Bronx, Fresno County, and San Joaquin County. We are grateful to our sponsors, partners, and every guest who joined us in stepping up to the plate for the next generation.

January 2024 Gala Recap with Aaron sharing his vision of the organization.

It was a perfect evening in New York City for the 2nd Annual All-Star Evening – New York Gala. The soiree was held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The architectural design of Cipriani Wall Street created an elegant backdrop for the guests which included professional athletes, leaders in the sports world, family, friends, and fans. Dressed in their finest cocktail attire, guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres, a delicious meal, and strolling through and bidding on the popular silent auction which included signed sports memorabilia from Aaron Judge and other professional athletes who support the Foundation. The program was energetic and informative, being led by MC’s Matt Soeth and Paul Loefler. Attendees also heard from Aaron, as well as Patty, his mom and President of the Foundation, sharing special stories about the work the Foundation continues to do.

Inaugural Gala - November 18, 2022

Our inaugural New York Gala brought a diverse group of supporters together to show their love for Aaron and his ALL RISE Foundation. The “All-Star Evening” was held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City on Friday, November 18. More than 450 guests, including sponsors, professional athletes, All-Stars, leaders in the sports industry, friends, and family enjoyed a beautiful evening of signature cocktails and desserts, fine dining, and a silent auction including signed sports memorabilia from Aaron and other professional athletes. A live auction included several experiences with Aaron, as well as the favorite “Hey Aaron, can we have a catch?” offering four children the opportunity to play catch and have lunch with Aaron. “Save it for the Judge”, moderated by Suzyn Waldman and Meredith Marakovits, gave guests a chance to ask Aaron a question about his career, Yankees experiences, and his journey to 62 and MVP. ALL RISE awards included a tribute to Harold Theurer, author of “Hey Dad, Let’s Have a Catch”, a Mom’s Choice Award winner, which is the foundation for the ALL RISE #Just5Minutes campaign to stress the importance spending time with children. #Just5Minutes! Several other awards were presented. See those honored on our website.

An All-Star Evening

The ALL RISE Foundation’s second fundraising dinner was held near Aaron’s home away from home. The community of Fresno, California opened their arms to welcome Aaron in the Fall of 2010 when he began his college education and had the opportunity to compete as a college athlete for the Fresno State University Bulldogs baseball team. The Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation celebrated the community of Fresno and Fresno State by hosting “An All-Star Evening” on November 21, 2019, at the Enzo Olive Oil Mill in Madera, California. This was no small endeavor as this event took place in the middle of the Ricchiuti Family’s olive harvest. During the event, Tony Byrnes, artist extrodinare, along with Aaron created a “JUDGE” painting that was auctioned off along with other Judge memorabilia. MC’s Paul Loefler and Matt Soeth brought out the best of the crowd gathered and shared memories of Aaron as a Fresno Bulldog and more. Thanks to our generous sponsors below, we are excited to announce that our 2019 fundraising event exceeded our expectations and we are excited to continue the development of old and new friendships along with opportunities to support children and youth in Fresno County.

The day after the dinner, Aaron visited several patients at Valley Children’s Hospital. He shared some special moments with the children, gave them an autographed item, and posed with the families for a group photo. Plenty of wide smiles filled the rooms.

The weekend continued to be a busy one. An Aaron Judge ALL RISE Baseball/Softball ProCamp was held on Sunday at Fresno State’s Bob Bennett Stadium on Pete Beiden Field. Aaron joined the boys and girls on the field to demonstrate various skills. Throwing, catching, hitting, sportsmanship, teamwork, attitude, and other positive citizenship traits were emphasized. The camp was free for 250 youth from the Fresno area and beyond.

We are grateful to the Fresno community doing so much to support our work with children and youth to become responsible citizens.

Thank you Mark Bahrenfuss for the wonderful dinner photos www.actionimagesbymark.com. Thank you Cary Edmundson who took the sponsor photos with Aaron and the board.
