As the 2020 baseball season gets underway, All Star professional baseball player Aaron Judge is teaming up with Jersey Mike’s Subs to entertain fans and make a big difference in local communities.

As part of a new marketing campaign, Jersey Mike’s will donate $1 million to Judge’s ALL RISE Foundation, which inspires children and youth to become responsible citizens by engaging them in activities — from camps to reading programs — that encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities.

“For my ALL RISE Foundation to be the recipient of $1 million dollar donation from Jersey Mike’s is monumental for us,” says Judge. “Even if our organization impacts one kid, one family, it’s making a difference in this world and that’s what it’s all about for me.”

For this special promotion from June 29 through July 26, 2020, in conjunction with Pepsi and Lay’s, customers can order “Aaron’s Way,” adding chips and a fountain drink to their sub order for just $2.99. Fans can substitute a 20 oz. bottled drink for 50 cents more.

Customers who order Aaron’s Way will have access to exclusive content via a QR code on 22-ounce fountain cups that links them to a web page with the videos. The four fun and uplifting videos, one released each week, teach fans:

Aaron’s Way plays off Jersey Mike’s iconic Mike’s Way of ordering an authentic sub with onion, lettuce, tomato, a blend of olive oil and red wine vinegar, and spices.

Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation Partners with JBL to Promote Distance Learning

On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, Linden Elementary School staff distributed 100 JBL customized headphones, donated by Aaron Judge, founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation, and JBL, to support and encourage students to continue summer learning and reading, to be ready academically for Waterloo Middle School next fall.

“Transitioning from elementary school to middle school was a little scary for me,” states founder Aaron Judge. “It meant meeting new teachers, experiencing new schedules and classes, going to a larger and unfamiliar school, and making new friends.” Judge continued “Now that students have been studying from home for seven weeks due to COVID-19 circumstances, I felt it was especially critical to encourage and support these 4th graders to continue their education thru the summer with a great set of JBL headphones that will allow them to concentrate and focus on their distance learning and summer reading. That’s why I asked my partners at JBL to create something special for these students and they stepped up and donated customized ALL RISE Foundation design headphones. 

“The ALL RISE Foundation is thankful to JBL for stepping up and willingly assist the Aspiring Leaders initiative with this generous donation. I’m confident these 4th grade students will love wearing these headphones while they study and will know that Aaron is walking with them thru this transition to middle school. Aaron feels there is a huge value in supporting youth during change,” states Patty Judge, President of Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation. 

“JBL is proud to support the All Rise Foundation’s efforts, ensuring students have the tools available to support virtual education learning and strengthen their connection to music this summer” said Ralph Santana, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at HARMAN. 

“We thank Mary Evans, Linden Elementary Principal; Shannon Roberson, Waterloo Principal; and Teresa Coyle, Linden Elementary teacher, as well as teachers from both schools for joining forces with ALL RISE on a common goal to help children reach unlimited possibilities,” concludes Patty Judge.
